What two numbers multiply to 205 and add up to 46?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 205 and add up to 46?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 41 multiply to 205 and add up to 46:

5 × 41 = 205
5 + 41 = 46

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

x² + 46x + 205 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 5 and 41 multiply to 205 and add up 46, you know that the following is true:

x² + 46x + 205 = (x + 5 ) (x + 41)
