What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 46?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 46?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 40

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 40 multiply to 240 and add up to 46:

6 × 40 = 240
6 + 40 = 46

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

x² + 46x + 240 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 40)

To summarize, since 6 and 40 multiply to 240 and add up 46, you know that the following is true:

x² + 46x + 240 = (x + 6 ) (x + 40)
