Question

The products of 2 consecutive odd nos is 4623 which is the greater of th

Answer 1

Answer:

The greater of the two odd numbers whose product is 4623 is 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the first (smaller) odd number

Its consecutive odd number (the greater) will be n+2.

ATQ,

n(n + 2) = 4623

n² + 2n = 4623

n² + 2n - 4623 = 0

(n + 69)(n - 67) = 0

n = -69 or n = 67

n = -69 is not admissible as it is not a natural number.

=> n = 67

=> (n+2) = 67+2 = 69

The greater odd number is 69
