What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 62?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 62?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 57

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 57 multiply to 285 and add up to 62:

5 × 57 = 285
5 + 57 = 62

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

x² + 62x + 285 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 57)

To summarize, since 5 and 57 multiply to 285 and add up 62, you know that the following is true:

x² + 62x + 285 = (x + 5 ) (x + 57)
