Two consecutive positive integers, n and n+1.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%28n%2B1%29=306\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%5E2%2Bn-306=0\"$ , and needs to be factorable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "306=102*3=34*3*3=2*17*3*3=17*18\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%5E2%2Bn%2B306=%28n-17%29%28n%2B18%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=17\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That means $\"n%2B1=18\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two consecutive whole numbers are 17 and 18. \n" ); document.write( "
