Let smallest integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then others are: S + 2, and S + 4
\n" );
document.write( "We then get:

document.write( "(S - 8)(S + 2) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smallest integer =                OR                \r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "You should be able to find the others. \n" );
