Two consecutive odd numbers are as $\"2%2Ak%2B1\"$ and $\"2%2Ak%2B3\"$ . Therefore, the assumption concludes this equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2Ak%2B1%29%2A%282%2Ak%2B3%29+=+2%2A%28%282%2Ak%2B1%29%2B%282%2Ak%2B3%29%29-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "simplifying the above equation, we see that:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and so, the answer is 3 and 5.\r
