Answer:
Factors of 24 = 4*6, 12*2, 8*3
Here we find that 4+6 has least sum so
X=4
Y=6
Answer :
(-1)+(-24)=(-25)
Step-by-step explanation:
factors factors of 24:
=1, 2,3,4,6, 8, 12, 24 positive integers
.= -1, - 2, - 3, - 4, - 6, - 8 ,- 12, - 24 are the negative integers.
= therefore, as a question is asking about the two integers X and y so we will choose -1 and -24
now if we will find the least possible sum of -1 and -24 then the answer will be - 25
hope it helps you ....
thank you....
