In 'normal' arithmetic, there is no solution of 3 consecutive odd numbers where the product of the smaller two is 22 less than that of the larger two. For instance difference in products for 1-3-5 is 12, for 3-5-7 it is 20, and for 5-7-9 it is 28. The series steps by 8 integers for each set of 3 odd numbers investigated.
4,6,8,10
The four even integers are 4, 6, 8, and 10. 10 x 8 = 80 6 x 4 = 24 80 - 24 = 56
The larger integer is 30. The smaller is 28.
Let the smaller be n, then the larger is n+1; and: n + 4(n+1) = 59 → n + 4n + 4 = 59 → 5n = 55 → n = 11 → the two consecutive integers are 11 and 12.
Divide the sum of the two consecutive odd integers by 2: 156/2=78. The two consecutive odd integers will be one more and one less than 78, so the smaller will be 77 and the larger will be 79.

They are 6, 8, 10 and 12.

The product of two consecutive positive integers can be found by multiplying the smaller integer by the larger integer. If the smaller integer is represented as ( n ), then the larger integer would be ( n + 1 ). Therefore, the product of two consecutive positive integers is ( n \times (n + 1) ).
6 times 7 = 42 and so 7 is the larger number

In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.
Negative Numbers.
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.
