Since we are told that our factors are consecutivenumbers, then the square root of the product will be close - in fact adjacent. So 3096^0.5 = 55.6417.
But none of the consecutive number pairs in the mid-fifties produce the given product. Therefore the given information is incorrect.

There are only two prime numbers that are consecutive numbers, 2 and 3. Their product is 2 x 3 = 6. The first prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7 and the only two consecutive prime numbers whose product is a single digit are 2 and 3. (The next two consecutive prime numbers, 3 and 5, have a two-digit product.)
The numbers are 24 and 25.
There are two consecutive even numbers: 16 x 18 = 288
97 and 98
1 and 2, whose product is 2.
