<span>So the common </span>factors of 32 and 36 are 1, 2 and 4.
The greatest common factor is 4
Let
x = first consecutive odd
x + 2 = second consecutive odd
Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) = 32
Solving for x,
2x + 2 = 32
2x = 32 - 2
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.
