    Assume that the two numbers are m and n where m is greater than n.

    We know that the quotient of the two numbers is 20. This means that:

    m / n = 20

    m = 20 n ... > equation I

    We also know that the sum of the two numbers is 84. This means that:

    m + n = 84 ... > equation II

    Substitute by equation I in equation II as follows:

    20n + n = 84

    21n = 84

    n = 4

    Substitute with the value of n in equation I to get m as follows:

    m = 20n

    m = 20*4 = 80

    Based on the above calculations:

    The two numbers are 80 and 4
