What two numbers multiply to 270 and add up to 51?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 270 and add up to 51?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 45

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 45 multiply to 270 and add up to 51:

6 × 45 = 270
6 + 45 = 51

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

x² + 51x + 270 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 45)

To summarize, since 6 and 45 multiply to 270 and add up 51, you know that the following is true:

x² + 51x + 270 = (x + 6 ) (x + 45)
