The factors of -8 are: -1, -2, -4, -8
35
Negative 8 minus 12 is negative 20.

two negative factors together would make a positive.
Sure. Take any positive number and find its factors. Then, if you make an odd number of the factors negative, you then have a set of factors of the negative of the original composite number. That means that the factors of a negative number are not 'unique'. Take ' 6 ' for example. Its factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6. If you make the '1' or the '2' or the '3' or the '6' negative, then you have four factors of ' -6 '. Are there any other ways to make an odd number of them negative ? I see eight different ways to make an odd number of those four numbers negative. So ' -6 ' has eight different possible sets of factors. Is that weird or what !
They are: -2-8 = -10
If I understand your question correctly, then the answer is negative because if you add positive 3 to negative 8 the answer is negative 5.
-8, -4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4, 8 Usually I only write the positive factors, even though the negative factors exist, though it is hard to resist writing them when the number itself is negative.
-9 and -8, although negative numbers are not generally considered factors.
If an even number of negative factors are multiplied together (such as 18 factors), the answer will be positive. If there are an odd number of negative factors, the answer will be negative.
-16 and -12-12 and -8-8 and -4-6 and -2
1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and their negative counterparts.
The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.The prime factor of 16 is 2.None of them are negative.
1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4, 8, -8, 16, -16, 32, -32
-76
35
These numbers are -12 and -8.
