Answer

\(\boxed{The\ three\ consecutive\ integers\ are\ 56,\ 57,\ and\ 58}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：Let the first integer be \(x\), the second integer be \(x+1\), and the third integer be \(x+2\)

Step 2 ：Set up an equation: \(x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 171\)

Step 3 ：Simplify the equation: \(3x + 3 = 171\)

Step 4 ：Solve for \(x\): \(x = 56\)

Step 5 ：Find the three consecutive integers: \(56, 57, 58\)

Step 6 ：\(\boxed{The\ three\ consecutive\ integers\ are\ 56,\ 57,\ and\ 58}\)
