If next year (2010) is written as a product of two positive integers, who's (sic) difference is as small as possible, then what is the difference?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers that multiply to 2010 (or any number) with a difference of zero(0) is the square root of the number.
\n" ); document.write( "The sqrt(2010) = ~ 44.8 so look for numbers close to that.
\n" ); document.write( "2010 = 2*3*5*67
\n" ); document.write( "67 is prime so it has to be one of the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "2010 = 30*67
\n" ); document.write( "Difference = 37
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
