If you mean consecutive numbers then they are 23*24 = 552
The numbers are 23 and 24.
The smallest of these number is 225 and the largest is 552. So the range is 552-225 = 327.
The five on the left is ten times the five on the right.
Let n be the lower number then the higher number is n + 1. n (n + 1 ) = 552 : n² + n - 552 = 0 Solving for the roots of a quadratic equation gives :- n = [-1 ± √(1 + 2208)] ÷ 2 = [-1 ± √2209] ÷ 2 = [-1 ± 47]÷ 2 Taking just the positive root gives n = -½ + 23½ = 23 The two consecutive numbers are therefore 23 and 24. Whilst this is a very accurate but complicated process a much quicker result can be achieved by taking the square root of 552 = 23.5 (approx). Two consecutive numbers producing 552 must lie either side of the square root. A simple multiplication will reveal that the numbers are 23 and 24.

23x24.
To find two consecutive numbers with a product of 552, we can set up an equation using algebra. Let's call the first number x, and the next consecutive number x+1. The equation we can set up is x(x+1) = 552. By solving this quadratic equation, we find that the two consecutive numbers are 23 and 24, as 23*24 = 552.
The numbers that go into both 552 and 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6.
The smallest of these number is 225 and the largest is 552. So the range is 552-225 = 327.
The five on the left is ten times the five on the right.
The least common multiple of the numbers 46 and 24 is 552.
Let n be the lower number then the higher number is n + 1. n (n + 1 ) = 552 : n² + n - 552 = 0 Solving for the roots of a quadratic equation gives :- n = [-1 ± √(1 + 2208)] ÷ 2 = [-1 ± √2209] ÷ 2 = [-1 ± 47]÷ 2 Taking just the positive root gives n = -½ + 23½ = 23 The two consecutive numbers are therefore 23 and 24.

Two consecutive numbers producing 552 must lie either side of the square root. A simple multiplication will reveal that the numbers are 23 and 24.
The factors of 552 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552.
It is a composite number because 552 has more than two factors
I am thinking you know the numbers are 23 and 24 but wonder how to find it. The easiest way is if you have a calculator, is to take the square root of 552 and get 23.4 , so try 23 and 24 and it works! You know that x(x+1) should be about the same as xx and by taking the square root you find that (23.4)(23.4) is close to 552, so 23 times 24 will likely be what you want. Of course you can use algebra; let x be the smaller number, then x+1 is the other, so x(x+1) = 552 x2+x -552 = 0 If you try to factor : ( x + )(x - ) = 0 You need try to find two numbers whose product is 552 and whose difference is 1. but that the original problem!! You can use the quadratic formula, but the discriminant is 1+4*552 and you need to take the square root of that--- not hard, but harder than the first method.
