    Consecutive odd numbers are 2n+1, 2n+3

    difference of reciprocals

    1 / (2n+1) - 1 / (2n+3) = 2/63

    ((2n+3) - (2n+3)) / (2n+1) (2n+3) = 2/63

    2 / (4n^2 + 8n + 3) = 2/63

    4n^2 + 8n + 3 = 63

    4n^2 + 8n - 60 = 0

    n^2 + 2n - 15 = 0

    (n + 5) (n - 3) = 0

    n = 3 (only positive)

    numbers are 2 (3) + 1=7 and 9
