The product of two numbers is 49
What is the greatest possible sum of the two numbers?
Answered by Ms. Sue
7 * 7 = 49
1 * 49 = 49

Answered by Steve
assuming you mean whole numbers,

1+49 = 50
the smallest sum is 7+7 = 14

this is just the same as noting that the minimum perimeter of a rectangle with a given area is when it's a square.
