A student opens a mathematics book to two factoring pages. The product of the page number is 210
what is the first page number? what is the second page number?


I'm sure this very easy but I can't remember how to begin to solve this problem

x * (x+1) = 210 ; solve for x

Anyhow, you should be able to quickly get 2 consecutive numbers that multiply to 210 :shock:
