      Let the three consecutive multiples of 8 be x,x+8 and x+16.
      According to question, x+x+8+x+16=888
      ⇒ 3x+24=888
      ⇒ 3x+24-24=888-24 [Subtracting 24 from both sides]
      ⇒ 3x=864
      ⇒ 3x/3 = 864/3
      ⇒ x=288
      Hence, first multiple of 8 = 288, second multiple of 8 = 288 + 8 = 296 and third multiple of 8 = 288 + 16 = 304.
