for n=1:9999
  v=n^4-8*n+15;
  div=divisors(v);
  l=length(div)/2;
  if l==round(l)
  
  if div(l+1)-div(l)==1
    disp([n v])
    disp([div(l:l+1)])
    disp(' ')
  end
   
  end
end

finds

     3    72   n and the value of the expression
     8     9   the two consecutive factors to make the expression
 
     5   600   n and the value of the expression
