Let first number be x.
Since the difference of two numbers is 7, so other number is x + 7.
Given, the products of numbers = 450
⇒ x(x + 7) = 450
⇒ x2 + 7x = 450
⇒ x2 + 7x - 450 = 0
⇒ x2 + 25x - 18x - 450 = 0
⇒ x(x + 25) - 18(x + 25) = 0
⇒ (x + 25)(x - 18) = 0
⇒ x + 25 = 0 or x - 18 = 0
⇒ x = -25 or x = 18.
Since, the numbers are natural numbers,
∴ x ≠ -25
∴ x = 18, x + 7 = 25
Hence, the numbers are 18 and 25.
