What two numbers multiply to 360 and add up to 77?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 360 and add up to 77?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 72

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 72 multiply to 360 and add up to 77:

5 × 72 = 360
5 + 72 = 77

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

x² + 77x + 360 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 72)

To summarize, since 5 and 72 multiply to 360 and add up 77, you know that the following is true:

x² + 77x + 360 = (x + 5 ) (x + 72)
