Answer: 2 and 321 or 3 and 214
Step-by-step explanation:
One number is between 200-225.
Now, back up just a bit. The product of the two numbers is 642. Product comes from multiplying the two numbers. So, if we divide 642 by the number that is between 200-225, we will get the other number.
So, divide 200 into 642 and get 3 with a remainder of 42
divide 225 into 642 and get 2 with a remainder of 192
This means that the other number must be either 2 or 3. (note: this is because dividing by 200 gives the biggest value it could be and dividing by 225 gives the lowest value it could be -- think about sharing a bag of candy, dividing it between 2 friends gets each person the most candy and dividing it between more friends (3) gives each person less candy).
Well. if the other number is either 2 or 3, and the product of the two numbers is 642, the numbers must be either: 2 and 321 or 3 and 214
