First, we will list factors of -112. Since we are multiplying to a negative number, we know that one number will be negative and one number will be positive.

±1, ±2, ±4, ±7, ±8, ±14, ±16, ±28, ±56 and ±112

Looking at this list of factors, we see 28 and 4. We know that 28 - 4 = 24, and 28 * -4 = -112. This means the answer to our question is:
