Write a pair of integers whose sum gives an integer smaller than both integers

Open in App

Solution

The sum of two negative integers gives a negative integer and we know that greater the number, the lesser is its positive.
Example: $(- 4) + (- 2) = (- 6)$
Here, $- 6$ is smaller than $- 4 and - 2$
Hence, $- 4 and - 2$ is one such pair whose sum gives an integer smaller than both integers.
