Answer:

3 and 7

Explanation:

You know from your multiplication tables that ...

21 = 1×21 = 3×7

There are no other factorizations of 21 using integers. You may notice that the sums of these factors are ...

1+21 = 22

3+7 = 10 . . . . . . this is the pair of numbers you are looking for

The two numbers are 3 and 7.
