What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 41?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 41?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 32

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 32 multiply to 288 and add up to 41:

9 × 32 = 288
9 + 32 = 41

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

x² + 41x + 288 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 32)

To summarize, since 9 and 32 multiply to 288 and add up 41, you know that the following is true:

x² + 41x + 288 = (x + 9 ) (x + 32)
