I know the answer is simple but I can't find a simple explanation on the net (no doubt I am searching for the wrong thing). So the question is "Find two consecutive numbers with the product of 182. This is how far I've got: x(x+1)=182 I take it I then take 1 from 182 so x(x) = 181 what do I do now (on calculator)? At this rate I'm going to be stripped of my maths GCSE , dd is only in year 4 and I'm stumped already!
