Solving Diamond Problems

When solving diamond problems you have to find the numbers that are the product of the greater number and the sum of the smaller  number. For example:
As you can see the two numbers are 12 and 7. We have to find two numbers that when multiplying will equal 12 and when adding equal 7. You can list the factor of 12 to make it easier. Of those factors you have to see which one sums up to 7. 1 +12 and 2+6 does not equal 7 so the answer has to be 3 and 4. Now your finished.
