12 x 13 = 156
How to find the answer: If x is the first integer, then x+1 is the next consecutive integer. so x(x+1) = 156 or x^2 + x -156 =0 solve the quadratic equation for x.

The numbers are 6 and 8.
Let the two consecutive integers be x and x+1. The product of these two integers is x(x+1). Setting this equal to 132 gives us the equation x(x+1) = 132. By expanding the left side of the equation, we get x^2 + x = 132. Rearranging terms, we have x^2 + x - 132 = 0. This is a quadratic equation that can be factored as (x+12)(x-11) = 0. Therefore, the two consecutive integers are 11 and 12, and their product is 132.
You can solve this in two ways.1) Trial and error. That is, try multiplying two consecutive integers; if the product is too large, try smaller integers; if the product is too small, try larger consecutive integers. 2) Call the two consecutive integers "n" and "n+1", and solve the equation: n(n+1)=210
There are two consecutive even integers that equal -298: -150 and -148.
It need not be. 2 and 3 are consecutive integers and their sum is 5, not 31.
