Abstract: This paper is concerned with the existence of consecutive pairs and consecutive triples of multiplicatively dependent integers. A theorem by LeVeque on Pillai's equation implies that the only consecutive pairs of multiplicatively dependent integers larger than 1 are $(2,8)$ and $(3,9)$. For triples, we prove the following theorem: If $aotin2,8$ is a fixed integer larger than 1, then there are only finitely many triples $(a,b,c)$ of pairwise distinct integers larger than 1 such that $(a,b,c)$, $(a+1,b+1,c+1)$ and $(a+2,b+2,c+2)$ are each multiplicatively dependent. Moreover, these triples can be determined effectively.
