Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{ \pink{\textsf{\textbf{Given}}}}}}}$

• The product of two numbers 10.

• One of the number is -8

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{ \pink{\textsf{\textbf{To\:Find}}}}}}}$

• The other number

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{ \pink{\textsf{\textbf{Solution}}}}}}}$

• Let's assume the other number as x

• Given on the question that the product of the two numbers = 10

• So, $\tt x \times 8 = 10$

• Now, bring 8 to the R.H.S

• $\tt x =\dfrac{10}{-8}$

• $\tt x = \cancel\dfrac{10}{-8}$

• $\tt x =\dfrac{-5}{4}$

• $\tt \therefore The \: other \: number = \dfrac{-5}{4}$
