The two factors of 24 that give you a sum of 20 are 12 and 8.
1, and 37 are the factors that will give you a sum of 38
2.536 and 9.464 (to 3 dp)
What's the question ? Is it to find what the two numbers are ? Since you know their average, you know what the sum of the two numbers is. It's double their average. Now you know their sum, and you know their product. Take the product, and list all of its factors. Find two of the factors that add up to the sum of the two numbers. Those are probably the two numbers you're looking for.
