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

    x + x + x + 3 = 30

    3x + 3 = 30

    3x = 27

    divide both sides by three

    x = 9

    x, x+1, x+2 = 9, 10, 11

    9*10*11 = 990

    There is only one solution to the "three consecutive number is 30" part and the product of those numbers is not equal to 360. The problem is not possible.
