    346/2 = 173

    173 + 173 = 346

    but since they have to be consecutive and even,

    172 + 174 = 346

    smaller number is 172

    Even integers are 2 apart

    they aer x and x+2

    the sum is 346

    so

    x+x+2=346

    2x+2=346

    minus 2 both sides

    2x=344

    divide both sides by 2

    x=172

    x+2=174

    172<174

    the smaller is 172
