There are infinitely many possibilities:
1+239, 2+238, etc
and
0.1+239.9, 0.2+239.8, etc
and
0.01+239.99, 0.02+239.98, etc
and then you can have triplets:
1+1+238, 1+2+237 etc
and the same with fractions.
And then you can add in negative numbers, and irrationals.

To find factors that add up to 240 and also add up to 140, we need to solve a system of equations. Let's represent the two factors as x and y. We have the equations x + y = 140 and x + y = 240. By solving this system, we find that the factors are 100 and 140.
To find two numbers that add up to 240, you can set up an equation as x + y = 240. Since the numbers can be any combination, there are infinite solutions. For example, one possible solution could be 120 + 120 = 240. Another solution could be 100 + 140 = 240.

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here! To find the two numbers, we need to think about what factors of 240 could work. Since the numbers multiply to a negative number and add to a positive number, we know one number must be positive and the other negative. After some gentle calculations, we find the numbers to be 30 and -8.
