Question 633004: please help me get a number with a product of 48 and a sum of 2
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are no such numbers.
The only way to factor 48 is
48x1
24X2
16x3
12x4
8x6
None of them have a sum of 2. 8 and 6 have a DIFFERENCE of 2,
but not a SUM of 2.
