Thus the two consecutive odd numbers are 13 and 15, or -13 and -15. Since 195 is a three digit number, its two consecutive factors will be two digits long. Hence, at least one number is slightly less than 14. Hence the two numbers are 13 and 15.

consecutive positive numbers 13 and 15
let first no. is x then next will be x+2
now according to question
x (x+2) = 195
after solving this x = 13 , -15
here -15 is negative number so ignore it and take x= 13 then next number will be x+2 = 13+2 = 15
so the numbers are 13, 15
