2 + 2 = 2 x 2 represent the only identical integers where this works.
Pairs of different numbers that display this quality will follow this equation:
x and x/(x-1) where x is greater than 1
Examples are
2 and 2
3 and 1.5
4 and 4/3
5 and 5/4

because you can get a positive number as EITHER a product of 2 positive numbers OR the product of the negatives of the SAME 2 numbers; the product of 2 negative numbers is positive.
1 and 0 are the two whole numbers with their sum same as their difference
I would list all the factors of 480 (as pairs of numbers whose product is 480). Then find two pairs of numbers (L1,W1 and L2,W2) satisfying these properties. (It won't take long, since there are at most sqrt(480) (rounded down) pairs of numbers whose product is 480, ie. just try the numbers 1,2,3,...,21.) Hope that helps!
2 and 2
The numbers are 18 and 24
