Let the first number be x, which makes the second number (x + 1)
We know that the two numbers multiply to give 702
x(x+1) = 702
x2 + x - 702 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, we find that the possible values of x are -27 and 26
Therefore there are two possible solutions to this problem.
The first solution is -27 and -26.
The second solution is 26 and 27.

You cannot.If you have any two consecutive numbers, one of them must be odd and the other even. So their sum must be odd and therefore cannot be 702 nor 210

Their product.
No two consecutive numbers have a product that is an even number. Any two consecutive numbers include one odd number and one even number. The product of one odd number and one even number is always an odd number.
