What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 101?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 101?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 96

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 96 multiply to 480 and add up to 101:

5 × 96 = 480
5 + 96 = 101

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

x² + 101x + 480 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 96)

To summarize, since 5 and 96 multiply to 480 and add up 101, you know that the following is true:

x² + 101x + 480 = (x + 5 ) (x + 96)
