The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
Amazon knocks up to 50% off Garmin watches — here are 15 deals worth shopping now - Tom's Guide
(n - 1)(n + 1)

And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?
The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2

n^2 - 1
If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
What smell will you never forget?
So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.
