What two numbers multiply to 46 and add up to 25?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 46 and add up to 25?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 23

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 23 multiply to 46 and add up to 25:

2 × 23 = 46
2 + 23 = 25

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

x² + 25x + 46 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 23)

To summarize, since 2 and 23 multiply to 46 and add up 25, you know that the following is true:

x² + 25x + 46 = (x + 2 ) (x + 23)
