What two numbers multiply to 243 and add up to 36?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 243 and add up to 36?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 27

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 27 multiply to 243 and add up to 36:

9 × 27 = 243
9 + 27 = 36

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

x² + 36x + 243 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 27)

To summarize, since 9 and 27 multiply to 243 and add up 36, you know that the following is true:

x² + 36x + 243 = (x + 9 ) (x + 27)
