What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 53?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 53?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 47

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 47 multiply to 282 and add up to 53:

6 × 47 = 282
6 + 47 = 53

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

x² + 53x + 282 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 47)

To summarize, since 6 and 47 multiply to 282 and add up 53, you know that the following is true:

x² + 53x + 282 = (x + 6 ) (x + 47)
