What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 44?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 44?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 38 multiply to 228 and add up to 44:

6 × 38 = 228
6 + 38 = 44

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

x² + 44x + 228 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 6 and 38 multiply to 228 and add up 44, you know that the following is true:

x² + 44x + 228 = (x + 6 ) (x + 38)
