Can you find three consecutive even numbers that total 85008 when multiplied together?

No, because even numbers aren't consecutive.
But I think you mean 42*44*46=85008

Dr St Justin is right. There are no three consecutive numbers that fit the bill.

OK, next time I'll read the question properly.
In the meantime, congrats Justin

A good way to start is taking cube root of 85008...
