In each finite simple sporadic group, excepting the Baby Monster group B, the Monster group M, the McLaughlin group McL and Mathieu groups M11, M22 , M23, three generating involutions, two of which commute, are found.

If G is one of the groups M12, M24 , HS, J1, J2, J3, then we give pairs of numbers p, q, pq, such that p = |ik|, q = |jk| for some involutions i , j , k with condition |ij| = 2 generating the group G. The triples of involutions mentioned above are found with the use of the system of computer algebra GAP. Recall that any two involutions of the triple of involutions generating either McL, or M11, or M22, or M23 do not commute.
