Consecutive numbers are numbers next to one another.

The odd numbers are 339 and 341

Let the smaller number be x.

So, the next number will be x + 2

The sum of the two numbers is:

[tex]\mathbf{x + x + 2 = 680}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{2x + 2 = 680}[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{2x= 678}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\mathbf{x= 339}[/tex]

So, the numbers are 339 and 341
