What two numbers multiply to 384 and add up to 56?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 384 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 48

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 48 multiply to 384 and add up to 56:

8 × 48 = 384
8 + 48 = 56

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

x² + 56x + 384 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 48)

To summarize, since 8 and 48 multiply to 384 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x² + 56x + 384 = (x + 8 ) (x + 48)
