What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 163?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 163?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 160

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 160 multiply to 480 and add up to 163:

3 × 160 = 480
3 + 160 = 163

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

x² + 163x + 480 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 160)

To summarize, since 3 and 160 multiply to 480 and add up 163, you know that the following is true:

x² + 163x + 480 = (x + 3 ) (x + 160)
