The factors of 288 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 288. Now, let's look for two that add to 23.

  • We can ignore all the factors from 24 and on, since they're already too high.
  • 18 doesn't work either, because 23 - 18 = 5, and we can't choose 5.
  • The result of adding two even numbers together is an even number, so we need to choose 1, 3, or 9 to add to one of the others.
  • 16 + 9 = 25, which is too high.
  • 16 + 3 = 19, which is too low.
  • 12 + 9 = 21, which is already too low.

It appears that none of the factors of 288 add to 23. If you allow subtraction, 24 - 1 works.
