Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive numbers be n, (n+1) , (n + 2 ) (n+ 3).
Given that their product = 840
then n(n+1)(n + 2 )(n+ 3) = 840.
this can also written as n(n+3)⋅(n+1)(n+2) = 840
Add and subtarct 1 to the first number of the product.
[(n²+3n+1)−1][(n²+3n+1)+1] = 840
(n²+3n+1)²−1 = 840
(n²+3n+1)² = 841
(n²+3n+1)² = 29²
(n²+3n+1) = 29
⇒ n²+3n+1–29=0 = n² + 3n - 28
(n + 7) (n - 4) = 0
if n = 4
we have 4, 5, 6, 7
n = -7 is not possible -7 does not belongs to the natural number.
