Respuesta :
a x b = 24
Possible values of a and b are:
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 =24
4 x 6 = 24
The possible sums of a and b are:
1 + 24 = 25
2 + 12 = 14
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 6 = 10
Therefore, the least possible sum of a and b is 10.

Answer:
The least possible sum is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two integers are "a" and "b".
The factors of 24 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
Thus, the possible combinations of "a" and "b" are:
2 and 12, 4 and 6, 8 and 3.
And, the sum of these combinations are: 2 +12 = 14
4 + 6 = 10
8 + 3 = 11
Thus, the least possible sum is 10 which is the combination of 4 and 6.
