What two numbers multiply to 425 and add up to 42?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 425 and add up to 42?"

The answer to your question is:

17 and 25

Below we illustrate and prove that 17 and 25 multiply to 425 and add up to 42:

17 × 25 = 425
17 + 25 = 42

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

x² + 42x + 425 = 0

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

(x + 17 ) (x + 25)

To summarize, since 17 and 25 multiply to 425 and add up 42, you know that the following is true:

x² + 42x + 425 = (x + 17 ) (x + 25)
