What two numbers multiply to 246 and add up to 47?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 246 and add up to 47?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 41 multiply to 246 and add up to 47:

6 × 41 = 246
6 + 41 = 47

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

x² + 47x + 246 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 6 and 41 multiply to 246 and add up 47, you know that the following is true:

x² + 47x + 246 = (x + 6 ) (x + 41)
