2 integers have a product of 24.....that means when multiplied they equal 24....and integers can be negative numbers....so if u want the least possible sum, u want negative numbers.

-1 * -24 = 24
-1 + (-24) = -1 - 24 = -25....I dont think ur gonna find any lower then that

so ur 2 integers are : -1 and -24
