37. ANS:
Let m, m + 1, m + 2, and m + 3 represent the four consecutive numbers. Then the product of the greatest and least
numbers will equal the product of the two consecutive middle numbers. Solving the equation m(m + 3) = (m + 1)(m
+ 2) for m results in m2 + 3m = m2 + 3m + 2, or 0 = 2, which is false.
