The two numbers are 26 and 62
Let the two numbers be x and y
If the sum of the numbers is 88, then;
- x + y = 88 ...........................1
If the product of the numbers is 1612, then;
- xy = 1612 .............................. 2
From equation 2;
x = 1612/y
Substitute into 1:
1612/y + y = 88
1612 + y² = 88y
y² - 88y + 1612 = 0
Factorize the result to have y = 26 and 62
Since x = 1612/y, the value of y is 26 and 62
Hence the two numbers are 26 and 62
