What two numbers multiply to 48 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 48 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 24

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 24 multiply to 48 and add up to 26:

2 × 24 = 48
2 + 24 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 48 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 24)

To summarize, since 2 and 24 multiply to 48 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 48 = (x + 2 ) (x + 24)
