Verified Answer

Hence, 11 is a factor of 1,10,011

The product of two numbers is 144.

∴ The possible factors are 1 × 144, 2 × 72, 3 × 48, 4 × 36, 6 × 24, 8 × 18, 9 × 16, 12 × 12

Here, we observe that out of these factors, we take 9 and 16.

Product = 9 × 16 = 144 and sum = 9 + 16 = 25

Hence, the required numbers are 9 and 16.

The sum of two numbers is 25 and their product is 144. Find the numbers. | Shiksha Nation
