Answer:
-2 and -1 or 1 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive integers differ by 1. We are looking for integer factors of 2 that differ by 1.
Divisors of 2
The integer divisors of 2 are -2, -1, 1, 2. That is, ...
2 = (-2)(-1) = (1)(2) . . . . . listing smallest factor first
These factor pairs are consecutive integers.
Consecutive integers
The two consecutive integers that have a product of 2 can be either of ...
