What two numbers multiply to 360 and add up to 53?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 360 and add up to 53?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 45

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 45 multiply to 360 and add up to 53:

8 × 45 = 360
8 + 45 = 53

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

x² + 53x + 360 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 45)

To summarize, since 8 and 45 multiply to 360 and add up 53, you know that the following is true:

x² + 53x + 360 = (x + 8 ) (x + 45)
