The prime factorization of 64 is \"2%5E6\", so all factors of 64 must be some power of 2.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Possible factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "64 * 1 = 64, sum is 65\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "32 * 2 = 64, sum is 34\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 * 4 = 65, sum is 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 * 8 = 64, sum is 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your problem doesn't say that the numbers have to be different, so 8 and 8 are the correct choices. If you add the restriction that the numbers must be different, then the answer is 4 and 16.
