Call the two consecutive integers n and n+1.
Their product is n(n+1) or n2 +n.
For example if the integers are 1 and 2, then n would be 1 and n+1 is 2.
Their product is 1x2=2 of course which is 12 +1=2
Try 2 and 3, their product is 6. With the formula we have 4+2=6.
The point of the last two examples was it is always good to check your answer with numbers that are simple to use. That does not prove you are correct, but if it does not work you are wrong for sure!
