Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! To find two numbers whose sum is 0, we can think of opposites. For example, one number could be 5 and the other -5. When we add them together, we get 0. It's all about balance and harmony in the world of numbers.

1 and 0 are the two whole numbers with their sum same as their difference
For the product to be zero, one of the numbers must be 0. So the question is to find the maximum sum for fifteen consecutive whole numbers, INCLUDING 0. This is clearly achived by the numbers 0 to 14 (inclusive), whose sum is 105.

Assuming the two numbers must be positive whole numbers, the answer is 1 and 11. If they need to be non-negative, it is 0 and 12. If negative numbers are permitted (eg -1 and 13) there is no limit to the sum - ie there is no maximum.
