What two numbers multiply to get 2205 and Subtract to get 4?
--------------
n*(n-4) = 2205
--> n = 45, 49
or -49, -45
================
Or do it like this:
sqrt(2205) =~ 47, the center
47 - 2 = 45
47 + 2 = 49
-----
Same for -47

Solve the system
xy=2205
x-y=4.
from the first we get y=2205/x
plug that into the second we get
x-2205/x=4 multiply by 4
x^2-2205=4x
x^2-4x-2205=0
factor
(x-49)(x+45)=0
x-49=0 or x+45=0
x=49 or x=-45
The numbers are 49 and 45
