    Let's make an equation.

    x+y=199

    Let's have x be the larger number. Since they are consecutive, they are one away. Let's make an equation for x.

    y+1=x; Let's plug this into the first equation.

    (y+1) + y=199

    2y+1=199; subtract one.

    2y=198

    Divide.

    198:2=99

    So, the smaller number is 99, so the bigger number is 100. You could also tell that 199 can be split into 100 and 99, which are consecutive numbers.
