Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factors of 600 2*2*2*3*5*52*2*2*3 = 24 and 5*5 = 25 so the 2 negative integers is -24 and -25 and lower integer is -25

But...

The negative integers can also be positive as 24*25 = 600

Edit: It says negative so it has to be -24

So... the answer is -24
