Impossible.
If the product of two numbers is 28, the choices for the numbers are:
28,1
14,2
7,4
None of those choices will give you a sum of 112.
.
Maybe a typo? 7 & 4 would give you a sum of 11.
In that case, the reciprocals are 1%2F7 and 1%2F4
To add them together, find a common denominator.
4%2F28+7%2F28= 11%2F28
.
If the sum you meant to post was something else, change out the numbers. Or repost with the correct information.
