What two numbers multiply to 176 and add up to 27?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 176 and add up to 27?"

The answer to your question is:

11 and 16

Below we illustrate and prove that 11 and 16 multiply to 176 and add up to 27:

11 × 16 = 176
11 + 16 = 27

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

x² + 27x + 176 = 0

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

(x + 11 ) (x + 16)

To summarize, since 11 and 16 multiply to 176 and add up 27, you know that the following is true:

x² + 27x + 176 = (x + 11 ) (x + 16)
