Answer:

193

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's "cheat" a little on this one

We know that the numbers are consecutive

so lets take the square root of 9312 to get close

√9312 = 96.4987046545

Consecutive numbers around 96.4987046545

96 * 97 = 9312

96 + 97 = 193

-------------------------------

The "correct" method would be to set up an equation

x(x + 1) = 9312

x² + x = 9312

x² + x - 9312 = 0

Then use the quadratic equation to solve for x

Which you can do if you're so inclined.

Me, I'm happy to have "cheated"
