What two numbers multiply to 120 and add up to 62?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 120 and add up to 62?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 60

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 60 multiply to 120 and add up to 62:

2 × 60 = 120
2 + 60 = 62

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

x² + 62x + 120 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 60)

To summarize, since 2 and 60 multiply to 120 and add up 62, you know that the following is true:

x² + 62x + 120 = (x + 2 ) (x + 60)
