Maths is always full of trick.Maths solving is fun.Especially i love solving these kind of problems like find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182 http://youtu.be/blnmOeiczj8

The long way to do this is to consider pairs adding up to 27. The short way is to consider pairs multiplying to 182. Only three pairs of "numbers" (the type also known as POSITIVE INTEGERS but do not let that name scare you) have a product of 182:
(91,2) (26,7) and (13,14)
