What two numbers multiply to 297 and add up to 42?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 297 and add up to 42?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 33

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 33 multiply to 297 and add up to 42:

9 × 33 = 297
9 + 33 = 42

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

x² + 42x + 297 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 33)

To summarize, since 9 and 33 multiply to 297 and add up 42, you know that the following is true:

x² + 42x + 297 = (x + 9 ) (x + 33)
