What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 64?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 64?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 60

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 60 multiply to 240 and add up to 64:

4 × 60 = 240
4 + 60 = 64

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

x² + 64x + 240 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 60)

To summarize, since 4 and 60 multiply to 240 and add up 64, you know that the following is true:

x² + 64x + 240 = (x + 4 ) (x + 60)
