What two numbers multiply to 432 and add up to 57?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 432 and add up to 57?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 48

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 48 multiply to 432 and add up to 57:

9 × 48 = 432
9 + 48 = 57

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

x² + 57x + 432 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 48)

To summarize, since 9 and 48 multiply to 432 and add up 57, you know that the following is true:

x² + 57x + 432 = (x + 9 ) (x + 48)
