What two numbers multiply to 235 and add up to 52?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 235 and add up to 52?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 47

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 47 multiply to 235 and add up to 52:

5 × 47 = 235
5 + 47 = 52

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

x² + 52x + 235 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 47)

To summarize, since 5 and 47 multiply to 235 and add up 52, you know that the following is true:

x² + 52x + 235 = (x + 5 ) (x + 47)
