    They are 2015 and 2016.

    divide 4031 by 2, and get rid of the decimal:

    You will get 2015.

    2015+2015 = 4030

    2015+2016=4031

    First represent your 2 consecutive integers as follows.

    X ⇒ first integer

    X + 1 ⇒ second integer

    Since their sum is 4,031, our equation reads x + (x + 1) = 4,031.

    Simplifying on the left side, we get 2x + 1 = 4,031.

    Now subtract 1 from both sides to get 2x = 4,030.

    Now divide both sides by 2 to find that x = 2,015.

    If x ix 2,015, then x + 1 will be 2,015 + 1 or 2,016.

    So our 2 consecutive integers are 2,015 and 2,016.
