The question refers to two factors of 132 that are consecutive integers.
The answer is 11 & 12, as 11 x 12 = 132
This can be solved as follows.
Let n be the smaller of the two numbers then (n + 1) is the other number.
n(n + 1) = 132
n2 + n = 132
n2 + n - 132 = 0............which can be factored as (n + 12 )(n - 11) = 0
As we are only concerned with the positive integer result then this occurs when n - 11 = 0, that is when n = 11, thus (n + 1) = 12.
NOTE : Integers can also be negative and this applies to the other solution when n + 12 = 0, so n = -12 and consequently (n + 1) = -11 giving the result that -12 x -11 = 132.

Find the two consecutive positive integers is 132 find the integers?
The numbers are 65 and 67.
What are two consecutive integers that have the sum of 238?
There are two consecutive even integers. The numbers are 118 and 120.
What are the negative integers of the product of two consecutive integers that equal 440?
There are no two consecutive integers, negative or positive, whose product is 440.
What are two consecutive integers whose product is 421?
There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 421 - the product of 20 and 21 is 420.
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 156 what is the larger integers?
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.
