What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 38?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 38?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 30

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 30 multiply to 240 and add up to 38:

8 × 30 = 240
8 + 30 = 38

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

x² + 38x + 240 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 30)

To summarize, since 8 and 30 multiply to 240 and add up 38, you know that the following is true:

x² + 38x + 240 = (x + 8 ) (x + 30)
