Consecutive even numbers can be represented by (smaller one) for the first and the next number has to be more than that. So the next even number is (greater one).
if the greater of two consecutive even integers is more than one-half times the smaller, we have
=> first possible solution for is
then (greater one) will be
the smallest possible integers: ,
