Answer:
Let the numbers be x and x + 1
So the product of these two numbers is 306. Writing it in equational form we get,
=> ( x ) ( x + 1 ) = 306
=> x² + x = 306
=> x² + x - 306 = 0
=> x² + 18x - 17x - 306 = 0
=> x ( x + 18 ) -17 ( x + 18 ) = 0
=> ( x + 18 ) ( x - 17 ) = 0
=> x = 17, -18.
Since it is mentioned x is a positive integer, we neglect -18.
Hence the value of x is 17.
Hence the other integer is x + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18.
Hence the two integers are: 17 and 18

What is the answer of this the product of two consecutive positive integers is 306
Revise some memories;
What is Consecutive Number?
=> If x is any number, then x and x + 1 are consecutive numbers.
Let to be Required Consecutive Positive Number x and x+1
Product of consecutive Number means multiplication of Numbers.
=> (x)(x+1)
Here,
Product of Consecutive Positive Number=)306 (Given).
(x)(x+1)=306
x²+x=306
x²+x-306=0
x²+x-306=0
x²+18x-17x-306
x(x+18)-17(x+18)
(x+18)(x-17)=0
Solution:- x-17=0
hence, x=17
_________________
Solution:- (x+18)=0
Hence, x=-18
(Removed Because it is in the form of negative)
_________________
Again, According to the Question
Integers are (x) and (x+1) -----(Equation @)
Substitute the value of x in Equation @
x=17
And,
x+1=) 17+1=18
