    let us take the smallest integer as x

    the second smallest as x+1

    and the largest as x+2

    since the sum is - 204 we should add all of it to get the answer

    therefore x+x+1+x+2=-204

    3x+3=-204

    3x=-204-3

    3x=-207

    x=-207/3

    x=-69

    the largest number is x+2

    therefore the largest number is - 67

    to check whether it is right just add them and check whether we get - 204

    therefore - 69+-68+-67=

    -204

    therefore the answer is - 67
