Answer:

The numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number would have been 1 less than the bigger number so that if for example the smaller number is 1 and the bigger number is 2, their difference would have been 1-2 = -1

5 is an odd number so if it were to be divided into two integers, one would be more than the other, namely 2 and 3.

If you double-check their difference:

2-3 = -1

Thus, the two numbers are 2 and 3.
