Two integers

Two integers, a, and b, have a product of 36. What is the least possible sum of a and b?

Correct answer:

s1 =  -37
s2 =  12

Step-by-step explanation:

ab=36 s1=(36)+(1)=37
ab = 36  a1=1, b1=36, s1=37 a2=2, b2=18, s2=20 a3=3, b3=12, s3=15 a4=4, b4=9, s4=13 a5=6, b5=6, s5=12 a6=9, b6=4, s6=13 a7=12, b7=3, s7=15 a8=18, b8=2, s8=20 a9=36, b9=1, s9=37  a=36=6 b=36/a=36/6=6 s2=a+b=6+6=12
