Two numbers have a difference of 8 what is the minimum product of these numbers

-16 (assuming you are allowed both positive and negative numbers)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use two negative numbers, the result will be a positive, so the only way to get a number below zero is to use one positive and one negative number.

Here's the only options that provide one negative and one positive number:

1 x - 7 = - 7

2 x - 6 = - 12

3 x - 5 = - 15

4 x - 4 = - 16

5 x - 3 = - 15

6 x - 2 = - 12

7 x - 1 = - 7

Therefore, - 16 is the lowest possible product of two numbers with a difference of 8
