sat math minimum value

How can we find the minimum value of the sum of two integers whose product is 24?

thanks

We must find all possible pairs of numbers whose product is 24 and then choose that one with minimum value of sum.
(1,24) -> Sum=25
(2,12) -> Sum= 14
(3,8) -> Sum=11
(4,6) -> Sum=10
So the correct answer is 10.
