Which factors of 24 add to make negative 11?

Answer 1

35

Answer 2

Oh, dude, let's break this down. So, the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. And if we're looking for two factors that add up to negative 11, well, spoiler alert, there aren't any. So, like, this is one of those situations where math is just like, "Nope, not gonna happen."

Answer 3

Remember that a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive.

Factors of 24: 1 and 24----- 2 and 12------ 3 and 8------ 4 and 6..

the negatives also work so: -1 and -24---- -2 and -12----- -3and -8----- -4 and -6

If we add each one we get : -25...............-14................ -11.............. -10

therefore -8 and -3 are factors of 24 and sum up to make -11
