What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 44?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 44?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 36

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 36 multiply to 288 and add up to 44:

8 × 36 = 288
8 + 36 = 44

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

x² + 44x + 288 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 36)

To summarize, since 8 and 36 multiply to 288 and add up 44, you know that the following is true:

x² + 44x + 288 = (x + 8 ) (x + 36)
