What two numbers multiply to 287 and add up to 48?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 287 and add up to 48?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 41 multiply to 287 and add up to 48:

7 × 41 = 287
7 + 41 = 48

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

x² + 48x + 287 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 7 and 41 multiply to 287 and add up 48, you know that the following is true:

x² + 48x + 287 = (x + 7 ) (x + 41)
