What two numbers multiply to 270 and add up to 59?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 270 and add up to 59?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 54

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 54 multiply to 270 and add up to 59:

5 × 54 = 270
5 + 54 = 59

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

x² + 59x + 270 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 54)

To summarize, since 5 and 54 multiply to 270 and add up 59, you know that the following is true:

x² + 59x + 270 = (x + 5 ) (x + 54)
