Answer

23 and 24.


Explanation

let the first integer be x.

The next integer would be x + 1

Now form the equation

x + (x+1) = 46

x + x + 1 = 46

2x + 1 = 46

2x = 46 - 1

x = 45

x = 22.5        This is not an integer.

Since the question is asking for the least possible integer, unless we use 23 ≅22.5

The first integer been 23, the other one would be (23 + 1) = 24.

The least possible pair would be 23 and 24.
