Answer:  The other factor is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the  product of two numbers is −72 and one of the factors is −9.

We are to find the other factor.

Let the other factor be represented by f.

Then, according to the given information, we have

[tex](-9)\times f=-72\\\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{-72}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow f=8.[/tex]

Thus, the other factor is 8.
