eg. n is the smallest integer, the other numbers would be (n+1) and (n+2)

Write an equation based on the problem
the sum of integers = 177
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 177
n + n + n + 1 + 2 = 177
3n + 3 = 177

Solve the equation
3n + 3 = 177
3n = 177 - 3
3n = 174
  n = 174/3
  n = 58

The smallest number of the integers is 58
