What two numbers multiply to 468 and add up to 51?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 468 and add up to 51?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 39

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 39 multiply to 468 and add up to 51:

12 × 39 = 468
12 + 39 = 51

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

x² + 51x + 468 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 39)

To summarize, since 12 and 39 multiply to 468 and add up 51, you know that the following is true:

x² + 51x + 468 = (x + 12 ) (x + 39)
