OK, if you like. N it is.
You can do this by trial-and-error.Or, call one integer "n", the next one "n+1", and solve the equation: n(n+1) = 440 Note: Whichever of these two methods you use, it will be clear that this problem has no integer solution.
One way to find out is write a formula. Let N and N+1 be the two integers, then N(N+1) = 182 N^2 + N - 182 = 0 This is a quadratic equation. If the factors are not obvious, (N -13)(N + 14) , then use the quadratic formula to find N. The factors tell you there are two possible solutions for N; 13 and -14. Now add 1 to these to get the two consecutive integers. 13 & 14 will work and -14 & -13 will work.
If you have used the data to estimate one parameter then you would use n-1. If two parameters, then n-2.
2n can be split into 2 n's so: n+n then add one to one of the n's and subtract one from one of the n's n+1+n-1 ^two consecutive odd integers^
