    Let the three consecutive integers be:
    x, x + 1, x + 2

    Their sum is 72, so:
    x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

    Simplify:
    3x + 3 = 72

    Subtract 3:
    3x = 69

    Divide by 3:
    x = 23

    So the integers are:
    23, 24, 25

    Now multiply the smallest and largest:
    23 × 25 = 575

    Answer: 575
