What two numbers multiply to 455 and add up to 96?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 455 and add up to 96?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 91

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 91 multiply to 455 and add up to 96:

5 × 91 = 455
5 + 91 = 96

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

x² + 96x + 455 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 91)

To summarize, since 5 and 91 multiply to 455 and add up 96, you know that the following is true:

x² + 96x + 455 = (x + 5 ) (x + 91)
