Find two positive consecutive integers which on multiplying give a product of 42.

• x*(x+1)=42
  by solving this equation we get x values -7 and 6.
  But the value should be positive so numbers are 6 and 6+1=7

• let the numbers be x-.5 and x+.5
  (x+.5)*(x-.5)=x^2-.25=42
  x^2=42.25
  x=6.5
  therefore the consecutive integers are x-.5 and x+.5 implies 6 and 7 are the answer

• Let the integers be x and x+1
  then
  x(x+1)=42
  On Solving the Equation we get x=6
  Hence two numbers are 6,7
