Answer:

Factors of 25 are the numbers, which gives the result as 25 when multiplied together in pair of two. When we divide a number by one of its factors, then the resultant quotient is a whole number. The factors of 25 can be represented in positive as well as in negative form, but it cannot be a decimal or fraction. Similarly, the pair factors of 25 can also be represented in positive and negative form. For example, the pair factor of 25 can be (1, 25) or (-1, -25). If we multiply a pair of negative numbers, such as multiplying -1 and -5, it will result in 25 so there is no sum that will equal to -24
