Hey there!!

Let's take the first number as ' x '

Then, the second number would be ' x + 1 '

Sum of these = 183

Hence,

[tex]x + x + 1 = 183[/tex]

[tex]2x + 1 = 183[/tex]

[tex]2x = 182[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{182}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 91[/tex]

Hence, the small integer is 91

Hope my answer helps!
