What two numbers multiply to 294 and add up to 55?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 294 and add up to 55?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 49

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 49 multiply to 294 and add up to 55:

6 × 49 = 294
6 + 49 = 55

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

x² + 55x + 294 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 49)

To summarize, since 6 and 49 multiply to 294 and add up 55, you know that the following is true:

x² + 55x + 294 = (x + 6 ) (x + 49)
