The product of two consecutive positive integers is 812. what is the value of the lesser integer?

Answered by maham237 @
The answer the question, let x be the smaller positive integer. With this, the greater integer may be represented as x + 1. The product of these integers is 812. The product may be written as,
(x)(x + 1) = 812
Solving for x in this problem gives x = 28 or x = -29. Since we are asked about positive integers only, x = -29 becomes an extraneous root. Thus, the lesser integer is 28.
