What two numbers multiply to 304 and add up to 46?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 304 and add up to 46?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 38 multiply to 304 and add up to 46:

8 × 38 = 304
8 + 38 = 46

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

x² + 46x + 304 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 8 and 38 multiply to 304 and add up 46, you know that the following is true:

x² + 46x + 304 = (x + 8 ) (x + 38)
