Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a neat trick when you have an odd number of consecutive numbers.

Call the middle number k

Then the smaller number is k-1

The larger number is k + 1

The two ones will cancel.

k-1 + k + k-1 = 180

3k = 180

k = 180/3

k = 60

Therefore the largest number is k + 1 = 60 + 1 =61
