What two numbers multiply to 465 and add up to 46?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 465 and add up to 46?"

The answer to your question is:

15 and 31

Below we illustrate and prove that 15 and 31 multiply to 465 and add up to 46:

15 × 31 = 465
15 + 31 = 46

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

x² + 46x + 465 = 0

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

(x + 15 ) (x + 31)

To summarize, since 15 and 31 multiply to 465 and add up 46, you know that the following is true:

x² + 46x + 465 = (x + 15 ) (x + 31)
