number pairs

Consider the pair of numbers (28,168) and (26,132).If you divide the product of two numbers in any pair by the sum of those two numbers, you will get the same result in in each case.
Take the first pair (28,168). Product = 28 x 168 = 4704.Sum = 28 + 168 = 196.
                                           Product /Sum =4704/196 =24.
Take the second pair (26,312). Product = 26 x 312 =8112. Sum =26 + 312 = 338.
                                                Product/Sum =8112/338 = 24.

We get same result  24 in both the cases.Now, can you suggest any other pair of numbers so that product of two numbers when divided by the sum of two numbers leaves 24 as answer?
