What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 24?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 24?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 22

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 22 multiply to 44 and add up to 24:

2 × 22 = 44
2 + 22 = 24

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

x² + 24x + 44 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 22)

To summarize, since 2 and 22 multiply to 44 and add up 24, you know that the following is true:

x² + 24x + 44 = (x + 2 ) (x + 22)
