What two numbers multiply to 48 and add up to 19?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 48 and add up to 19?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 16

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 16 multiply to 48 and add up to 19:

3 × 16 = 48
3 + 16 = 19

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

x² + 19x + 48 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 16)

To summarize, since 3 and 16 multiply to 48 and add up 19, you know that the following is true:

x² + 19x + 48 = (x + 3 ) (x + 16)
