You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
----------
The numbers that multiply to 2010 (or any number) with a difference of zero(0) is the square root of the number.
The sqrt(2010) = ~ 44.8 so look for numbers close to that.
2010 = 2*3*5*67
67 is prime so it has to be one of the numbers
2010 = 30*67
Difference = 37
