x(x+1)=528
x^2+x-528=0
the integers are 22 and 24. There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 528. There are two consecutive POSITIVE integers with that product.
quadratic formula
x=(1/2)+/- sqrt (1+2112) and the sqrt (2113)=45.97, so with a irrational discriminant, the product requires two positive consecutive integers.

sqrt%28528%29 = 22.98,  but the product  22*23 is 506 and IS NOT 528.

FAKE problem.
