Here's one way to work that out. Let's call the numbers "a" and "b" We're told:
a + b = 23
ab = 108
We can take one of those two, solve it for either a or b, substitute it into the other, and solve for the other variable using our new equation:
a + b = 23
b = 23 - a
∴ a(23 - a) = 108
-a2 + 23a = 108
a2 - 23a + 108 = 0
a2 - 23a + (23/2)2 = (23/2)2 - 108
(a - 23/2)2 = 529/4 - 432/4
(a - 23/2)2 = 97/4
a - 23/2 = ± √(97/4)
a = (23 ± √97) / 2
So the two numbers that meet this condition are (23 - √97) / 2 and (23 + √97) / 2

How do you write 21 as a product of prime numbers?
It is 3 time 7 = 21
How would you find the total number of possible outcomes of 2 independent events occurring at the same time?
They are the product of the number of possible outcomes for each of the component events.
What is the product for 4 time 3 and the properties of multiplication?
The product of 4 and 3 is 12. You can use a calculator or you could do 4+4+4= or 3+3+3+3= and you will get 12. The properties of multiplication is that if you switch the beginning two numbers around, the product of the two numbers will not be impacted by the change.
Why prime numbers are used in RSA algorithm?
Prime numbers are helpful in cryptography because it is MUCH easier to calculate the product (multiplication) of two prime numbers than to do the reverse process (find the prime factors of a big number). The bigger the prime numbers are, the higher the difference in time between calculating the product, or factoryzing this product back into the two prime numbers. When person A wants to tell B a secret, they could agree on two great prime numbers (in a secret way) and later use the product to communicate. A and B could easely calculate the other's factor because they know their own factor. Anyone else would have to try to factorize the huge prime number without any knowledge which would take, ideally, longer than 4.6 billion years (the age of the Earth). This is a VERY simplified answer and more can be found by googling around.
What is a Positive time negative?
NegativeIf the two factors have the same sign, their product is positive.If the two factors have different signs, their product is negative.
How do you determine if the product is negative or positive for multiplication for maths and integers?
The following rules apply to all real numbers.if either number is zero, then the product is zero.if the signs of two numbers are the same, their product is positive; if the signs are different then the product is negative.for the product of three or more numbers, the associative property can be used to find the product two-at-a-time.
Is the product of two positive numbers greater than the sum of the two numbers?
Not always, but most of the time.
How do you write 21 as a product of prime numbers?
It is 3 time 7 = 21
The product of two negative numbers is a what number?
negative time negative equal positive
A special pair are we our sum is 100 Our product lets you know some more Its our sum time 24 What numbers are we?
If the product of the two numbers is the sum times 24, then the product of the two numbers is 2400. 40 times 60 is 2400, and 40 plus 60 is 100. The two numbers are 40 and 60.
What substance is released as a wast product at the same time?
energy
What is meant by a consistent product?
same results every time
Is the product of two prime numbers even?
Not all the time, 11 x 3 = 33
What is the product game?
is a game in math that is fun and stupid at the same time
Can You Multiply More then 2 Numbers At The Same Time?
yes
Find two pairs of numbers whose least common multiple is less than the product of the numbers?
4 and 6 6 and 8 Any time the two numbers have a common factor, their LCM will be less than the product because the common factor contributes to the LCM fewer times than it contributes to the product.
What 3 numbers do you time together to get 18?
As a product of its prime factors: 2*3*3 = 18
