    The number - 33 divisors are:

    D (-33) = {-33, - 11, - 3, - 1, 1, 3, 11, 33}

    a * b = - 33

    1) - 33 * 1 = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: - 33 + 1 = - 32

    2) - 11 * 3 = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: - 11 + 3 = - 8

    3) - 3 * 11 = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: - 3 + 11 = 8

    4) - 1 * 33 = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: - 1 + 33 = 32

    5) 1 * (-33) = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: 1 + (-33) = 1 - 33 = - 32

    6) 3 * (-11) = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: 3 + (-11) = 3 - 11 = - 8

    7) 11 * (-3) = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: 11 + (-3) = 11 - 3 = 8

    8) 33 * (-1) = - 33 ⇒ Sum is: 33 + (-1) = 33 - 1 = 32

    The least possible sum of a and b is - 32
