\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve the quadratic for to get the value of the smaller integer. It factors as one would presume since you are expecting integer answers. You will get two roots. Check to see if both of them are valid answers remembering that integers can be negative, but that the next consecutive integer to a negative integer has a smaller absolute value.\r
