Every even two-digit number is composite, so to have three consecutive two-digit composite numbers, all you need is an odd composite number and then the even number on either side of it. The odd composite two-digit numbers are 15, 21, 25, 27, 33, 35, 39, 45, 49, 51, 55, 57, 63, 65, 69, 75, 77, 81, 85, 87, 91, 93, and 95.
A far more interesting question is what are the seven consecutive two-digit composite numbers. The only answer is 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, and 96.

24, 25 and 26 is one possible triplet.
Basically, composite numbers are the non-prime numbers. Take a table of prime numbers, and look for any two prime numbers, one after the other, that have a difference greater than 2. Any numbers in between are consecutive composite numbers. For example, the next prime number after 13 is 17; that makes 14, 15, and 16 three consecutive non-primes, i.e., composite numbers.

It's divisible by three, since the sum of its digits is divisible by three. So it's composite.
A number is called a staircase composite number when it has three prime factors that have different sized digits: the first is one digit, the second is two digits and the third is three digits. For example: [7] [41] [271] x 77 777 77 777 would be the staircase composite number.

267 is a composite number - since the digits of the number add up to a multiple of three, it is divisible by 3. Its prime factorization is 3 x 89 = 267.
it is 10
24, 25 and 26 is one possible triplet.
The four smallest three digit composite numbers are: 100, 102, 104, 105 with sum 411.

There are no such numbers. The smallest set of three consecutive composite numbers is {8, 9, 10} and the product of these numbers is 720.
