To find two numbers that multiply to -240 and add up to 8, we need to first list the factors of 240: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, and 240. The pair that meets the criteria is 20 and -12, as 20 * (-12) = -240 and 20 + (-12) = 8.

Multiply the numbers ignoring the signs and then add a negative sign.
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.
