What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 86?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 86?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 80

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 80 multiply to 480 and add up to 86:

6 × 80 = 480
6 + 80 = 86

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

x² + 86x + 480 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 80)

To summarize, since 6 and 80 multiply to 480 and add up 86, you know that the following is true:

x² + 86x + 480 = (x + 6 ) (x + 80)
