What two numbers multiply to 180 and add up to 27?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 180 and add up to 27?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 15

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 15 multiply to 180 and add up to 27:

12 × 15 = 180
12 + 15 = 27

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

x² + 27x + 180 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 15)

To summarize, since 12 and 15 multiply to 180 and add up 27, you know that the following is true:

x² + 27x + 180 = (x + 12 ) (x + 15)
