What two numbers multiply to 300 and add up to 56?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 300 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 50

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 50 multiply to 300 and add up to 56:

6 × 50 = 300
6 + 50 = 56

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

x² + 56x + 300 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 50)

To summarize, since 6 and 50 multiply to 300 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x² + 56x + 300 = (x + 6 ) (x + 50)
