To find positive integers that sum to 14 and have the smallest product, we can use the fact that the product of numbers is minimized when the numbers are as far apart as possible. The optimal way to split 14 is into one integer of 1 and the other of 13, resulting in the integers 1 and 13. The product of these two integers is (1 \times 13 = 13), which is the smallest possible product for integers that sum to 14.

If the product of two integers is positive, both integers must have the same sign, meaning they are either both positive or both negative. Conversely, if the product is negative, one integer must be positive and the other must be negative. This relationship reflects the fundamental rules of multiplication with respect to signs.
The pair of factors you are looking for is 23 x 47 = 1081. In fact, aside from itself and 1, these are the only two positive integer factors of 1081.
The smallest positive integer is 3.

1 is.
That's any two positive integers and one negative integer. Ex.: 1 x -1 x 2 = -2
The two positive integers whose product is 35 are 5 and 7. When multiplied together, 5 × 7 equals 35. These are the only pair of positive integers that yield this product.
