\n" ); document.write( "if they have greatest common factor of \"16\",both are divisible by \"16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, let's numbers be \"16x\" and \"16y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if first one is \"16x\", then next one must be \"2%2A16x=32x\" which is equal to\"16y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the sum of these two numbers is \"384\", we have \"16x%2B16y=16x%2B32x=384\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16x%2B32x=384\" ...solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"48x=384\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=384%2F48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your numbers are \"16x=16%2A8=128\" and \"16y=32x=32%2A8=256\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check their sum: \"128%2B256=384\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
