What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 61?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 61?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 57

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 57 multiply to 228 and add up to 61:

4 × 57 = 228
4 + 57 = 61

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

x² + 61x + 228 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 57)

To summarize, since 4 and 57 multiply to 228 and add up 61, you know that the following is true:

x² + 61x + 228 = (x + 4 ) (x + 57)
