n(n-1)(n-2) = 3 * 84
Not sure this is solvable since 3*84 = 6*6*7 = 4*7*9 = other possibilities
252 is not a product of 3 consecutive numbers

Could this be a mistake in the book? Since it has an answer of n=9. I cannot get 9 to work on this though.

Sorry
I used 3 instead of 3!
I am dim
So
n(n-1)(n-2) = 6*84 = 9*8*7
so n=9
