Steps of Product of Consecutive Integers: 1. Define your variables (x, x+1, x+2). 2. Set up equation and distribute. 3. Set equation equal to zero. 4. Factor equation. 5. Solve for variables.

When the problem says consecutive even integers, your variables are x, x+1, and so on. When it says consecutive even or odd, the variables are x, x+2, x+4, and so on.
