What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 83?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 83?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 80

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 80 multiply to 240 and add up to 83:

3 × 80 = 240
3 + 80 = 83

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

x² + 83x + 240 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 80)

To summarize, since 3 and 80 multiply to 240 and add up 83, you know that the following is true:

x² + 83x + 240 = (x + 3 ) (x + 80)
