Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that x / y = 8 and x + y = 72. From the first equation, we can rewrite it as x = 8y. Substituting this into the second equation gives us 8y + y = 72, which simplifies to 9y = 72. Solving for y, we get y = 8. Substituting y back into x = 8y gives us x = 64. Therefore, the two numbers are 64 and 8.
