    Two integers are 26 and 28

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x + 2. Product = 728

    x (x + 2) = 728

    x² + 2x - 728 = 0

    x = - 2 ±√4 - 4 * 1 * - 728/2 (using quadratic formula)

    = - 2 ±√4 + 2912/2

    = - 2 ±√2916/2 = - 2 ± 54/2

    = - 56/2, 52/2

    = - 28, 26 (negative value is neglected)

    ∴ x = 26

    x + 2 = 28
