Even the most obstinately ignorant cannot avoid learning when in an environment that educates.

BTW This works since the required divisors are also consecutive (primes). May be a trick question.

Well, since all even numbers are divisible by 2, any consecutive integers for which the middle integer is odd and a multiple of 3, 5, or 7 would satisfy the given requirements.
so 50, 51, 52 works (
2
x25,
3
x17,
2
x26), as does 54, 55, 56 (
2
x27,
5
x11,
2
x28)
But, I think that the
next
group of three after 48, 49, 50 is... 49, 50, 51 (
7
x7,
5
x10,
3
x17)
