What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 54?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 54?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 48

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 48 multiply to 288 and add up to 54:

6 × 48 = 288
6 + 48 = 54

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 54x + 288 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 6 ) (x + 48)

To summarize, since 6 and 48 multiply to 288 and add up 54, you know that the following is true:

x² + 54x + 288 = (x + 6 ) (x + 48)
