The two consecutive positive even integers are 16 and 18 whose product is 288.
Given that the product of two consecutive even integers are 288.
Let’s assume that n and n+2 are the two consecutive positive integers.
According to the given condition,
nn+2=288
n2+2n=288
n2+2n-288=0
n2+18n-16n-288=0
nn+18-16n+18=0
n-16n+18=0
n-16=0 or n+18=0
 n=16 or n=-18
We will choose the value n=16 because the product is of two positive integers.
So,
n=16
n+2=16+2=18
Therefore, the integers are 16 and 18.
