What two numbers multiply to 336 and add up to 55?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 336 and add up to 55?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 48

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 48 multiply to 336 and add up to 55:

7 × 48 = 336
7 + 48 = 55

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

x² + 55x + 336 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 48)

To summarize, since 7 and 48 multiply to 336 and add up 55, you know that the following is true:

x² + 55x + 336 = (x + 7 ) (x + 48)
