Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Numbers k such that k concatenated with k+1 gives the product of two numbers which differ by 2.
Numbers k such that k concatenated with k-2 gives the product of two numbers which differ by 4.
Numbers k such that k concatenated with k-7 gives the product of two numbers which differ by 6.
EXAMPLE
8119//8121 = 9011^2, where // denotes concatenation.
98010199//98010200 = 99000100 * 99000102.
98010199//98010197 = 99000099 * 99000103.
