Let the three consecutive numbers be $x$, $x+1$, and $x+2$.

The sum of these three numbers can be written as:

$x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 2694$

Simplifying the left side:

$3x + 3 = 2694$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$3x = 2691$

Now, divide by 3:

$x = 897$

So, the three consecutive numbers are $897$, $898$, and $899$.

In ascending order, the numbers are 897, 898, 899.

Tip: To find consecutive numbers, always set the middle one as the average of the sum divided by the count.
