These numbers can be presented as n and n + 1 = 1107

2n = 1106 because we combine the n terms and subtract 1 from each side.

2n ÷ 2 = n

1106 ÷ 2 = 553

We now know that n = 553.

Our second consecutive integer must be 554. This is because our second

consecutive integer represents n + 1 so 553 + 1 =554.

Therefore, are two consecutive integers are 553 and 554.

\huge{\boxed{553}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{554}}

The numbers can be represented as
x and
x+1.

We know that
x+x+1=1107.

Combine like terms.
2x+1=1107

Subtract 1 on both sides.
2x=1106

Divide both sides by 2.
x=553

The first number is
x, which equals
\boxed{553}.

The second number is
x+1, which equals
553+1, which is
\boxed{554}.
