What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 85?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 85?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 79

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 79 multiply to 474 and add up to 85:

6 × 79 = 474
6 + 79 = 85

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

x² + 85x + 474 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 79)

To summarize, since 6 and 79 multiply to 474 and add up 85, you know that the following is true:

x² + 85x + 474 = (x + 6 ) (x + 79)
