64 multiplied by 65 is equal to 4160. You can zero in on the right combination using guess and check.

so the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64
