If you take the square root of the product of ANY two integers, you get a number that is between the two integers. In this case, where the two numbers are consecutive integers, then the square root being between the two integers will tell you what the two integers are.

So use a calculator to find the decimal approximation of the square root of 1056. The two page numbers are the two integers either side of that square root.
