    Numbers are: 16, 17. and 18

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You can estimate it very quickly.

    Divide the sum by 3:

    869/3 = 289 2/3

    That just be close to the square of the middle number. Square root of that is 17.0195 ... The numbers must be 16 17 18.

    Work out he square to verify that.
