What two numbers multiply to 450 and add up to 227?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 450 and add up to 227?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 225

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 225 multiply to 450 and add up to 227:

2 × 225 = 450
2 + 225 = 227

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

x² + 227x + 450 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 225)

To summarize, since 2 and 225 multiply to 450 and add up 227, you know that the following is true:

x² + 227x + 450 = (x + 2 ) (x + 225)
