    16, - 16, 14, and - 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The easiest way of solving this question is by setting up an equation. Let's use "n" to represent any random possible integer.

    n (n + 2) = 224

    Simplifying:

    x^2 + 2n - 224 = 0

    (n + 16) (n - 14) = 0

    n = - 16, 16 or n = - 14, 14

    Check:

    16 * 14 = 224

    -16 * - 14 = 224

    Thus, answers of 16, - 16, 14, and - 14 all work correctly.
