The answer would be -25.


Before we get to the solution, we need to remind ourselves that integers are whole numbers, but they include even negative numbers.


First we need to look at least two factors of 24.

Positive:

24 x 1 = 24

12 x 2 = 24

8 x 3 = 24

6 x 4 = 24

Negative:

-24 x -1 = 24

- 12 x -2 = 24

-8 x - 3 = 24

-6 x -4 = 24


Now lets add these factors and see the sum of each of these factors:

24 + 1 =25

12 + 2 = 14

8 + 3 = 11

6 + 4 = 10


-24 + -1 = -25

- 12 + -2 = -14

-8 + - 3 = -11

-6 + -4 = -10
