Answer:


x1=√(216) \ and \ y1=\ √(216)

Explanation:

Let the first number is x1 and other number is y1 then


x1 * y1 =216

Therefore


y1=
(216)/(x1)

also there sum is


s1 =x1+y1....Eq(1)

Putting the value of y1 in the previous equation


s1\ =x1 + (216)/(x1)........Eq(2)

Differentiate the the Eq(2) with respect to x1 we get


(ds1)/(dx1) \ =\ 1+216*(1)/(-x1^(2) )


(ds1)/(dx1) \ =\ 1-(216)/(x1^(2) )\ =\ 0


{x1^(2) }\ =\ 216\\ x1=√(216)

Putting the value of X1 in Eq(1) we get


y1=(216)/(√(216) ) \\y1=(216*√(216) )/(216) \\y1=\ √(216)

So
x1=√(216) \ and \ y1=\ √(216)
