-------------------------------------------------------

1) these page numbers are two consecutive integers.

2) = 75.5 (approximately).

3) Hence the pages are 75 and 76: 75*76 = 5700.

The page numbers are very nearly the same (they're just 1 apart).

So they will be very near to the square root of 5700, which is

75.49834435.  So they are 75 and 76.

Checking:  75(76) = 5700.  That's it.
