What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 242?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 242?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 240

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 240 multiply to 480 and add up to 242:

2 × 240 = 480
2 + 240 = 242

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

x² + 242x + 480 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 240)

To summarize, since 2 and 240 multiply to 480 and add up 242, you know that the following is true:

x² + 242x + 480 = (x + 2 ) (x + 240)
