What two numbers multiply to 427 and add up to 68?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 427 and add up to 68?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 61

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 61 multiply to 427 and add up to 68:

7 × 61 = 427
7 + 61 = 68

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

x² + 68x + 427 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 61)

To summarize, since 7 and 61 multiply to 427 and add up 68, you know that the following is true:

x² + 68x + 427 = (x + 7 ) (x + 61)
