Find 2 numbers sum is 27 product is 182

Answers (1)

Let the two numbers be A and B.

         A + B = 27
          A B = 182 = 13*7*2*1

Let us find A and B by factors method.

A and B can be possibly from the list of the following :
         1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91, 182

Take the left most factor and right most factor and then check if sum is 27. Continue to the next factor from left.  So check 1 & 182 ; 2 & 91 ; 7 & 26 ; 

If you choose 13 and 14 as A and B, then A+B = 27 and AB = 182.

         So   A = 13   and  B = 14
