Question

How many numbers greater than zero and less than 50 equal the product of two consecutive positive integers?

Answer 1

Consecutive numbers would be like 2 and 3, or 7 and 8.

All we need to do is keep multiplying pairs of consecutive numbers until we get above 50.

1 × 2 = 2 (that's one.)
2 × 3 = 6 (two)
3 × 4 = 12 (three)
4 × 5 = 20 (four)
5 × 6 = 30 (five)
6 × 7 = 42 (six...)
7 × 8 = 56 > 50
We have a total of 6 numbers that equal the product of 2 consecutive intergers
