The sum of two integers is 12, and their product is 27.What are the two integers?
Well since 1, 3 and 9 are the only numbers that will divide into 27 evenly, what do you think.
If you know algebra, you'll go like this:
Let the first integer be x and other other y.
Their sum is 12, hence x + y = 12
Their product is 27, hence xy = 27
Solve the two simultaneous equations.
