Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, and x+2.
According to the given information, the sum of the three integers is 42:
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 42
3x + 3 = 42
3x = 39
x = 13
Therefore, the integers are 13, 14, and 15.
The product of the three numbers is:
13 * 14 * 15 = 2730
So, the product of the three consecutive integers is 2730.
