the product of two consecutive integers is 600. find the integers
--------
The easy way:
=~ 24.5 or -24.5
--> 24 & 25 or -25 & -24
=====================
The hard way:
x*(x+1) = 600
x^2 + x - 600 = 0
Now you have to find a pair of factors of 600 that differ by 1, which was where we started.
(x-24)*(x+25) = 0
x = 24 --> 24 & 25
x = -25 --> -25 & -24
