Detailed Solution

Given, the sum of two consecutive positive integers is 365.
Let the first positive be x and the second positive integer will be x+1
According to the question,
(x)+(x+1) = 365
Or, 2x+1 = 365
Or, 2x = 364
Or, x=182
Or, (x)+(x+1)=365
Or, 2x+1=365
Or, 2x = 364
Or, x = 182
The number is x i.e., 182 and x+1 i.e., 183
Therefore, two consecutive numbers are 182 and 183.
