What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 34?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 34?"

The answer to your question is:

15 and 19

Below we illustrate and prove that 15 and 19 multiply to 285 and add up to 34:

15 × 19 = 285
15 + 19 = 34

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

x² + 34x + 285 = 0

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

(x + 15 ) (x + 19)

To summarize, since 15 and 19 multiply to 285 and add up 34, you know that the following is true:

x² + 34x + 285 = (x + 15 ) (x + 19)
