What two numbers multiply to 396 and add up to 53?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 396 and add up to 53?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 44

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 44 multiply to 396 and add up to 53:

9 × 44 = 396
9 + 44 = 53

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

x² + 53x + 396 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 44)

To summarize, since 9 and 44 multiply to 396 and add up 53, you know that the following is true:

x² + 53x + 396 = (x + 9 ) (x + 44)
