If 100 cats killed 100 mice in 100 days, you can say that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat. So, if four cats killed four mice, and we're going of off the same basis that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat, then the answer would be 4.
Hey there!
One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)
You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.
1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.
The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.
Consecutive means right after one another.
The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.
2 x 3 = 6
Hope this helps!
