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.
The product of two consecutive even integers is 840.find these numbers
Multiplying. Yes, multiplication.
The numbers are 56 and 57.
The numbers are 42 and 43.
two consecutive numbers with the product of 1722 = 41 & 42
It is called multiplication.
There is no set of four consecutive numbers with a product of 182. There is a set of four consecutive numbers with a sumof 182: 9, 20, 21 and 22.

There are no such numbers. The smallest set of three consecutive composite numbers is {8, 9, 10} and the product of these numbers is 720.
Do you mean what two consecutive odd numbers gives a product of 195? If so then: 13*15 = 195
Multiplying. Yes, multiplication.
There is no such set of numbers.
Find two consecutive numbers with the value of 4160
Their product.
The consecutive odd number with a product of 12099 are 109 and 111.
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.)
There are two consecutive even numbers: 16 x 18 = 288
