What two numbers multiply to 385 and add up to 62?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 385 and add up to 62?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 55

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 55 multiply to 385 and add up to 62:

7 × 55 = 385
7 + 55 = 62

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

x² + 62x + 385 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 55)

To summarize, since 7 and 55 multiply to 385 and add up 62, you know that the following is true:

x² + 62x + 385 = (x + 7 ) (x + 55)
