The total of three consecutive numbers is 2694.

What are the numbers, in ascending order?

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**.
