What two numbers multiply to 485 and add up to 102?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 485 and add up to 102?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 97

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 97 multiply to 485 and add up to 102:

5 × 97 = 485
5 + 97 = 102

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

x² + 102x + 485 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 97)

To summarize, since 5 and 97 multiply to 485 and add up 102, you know that the following is true:

x² + 102x + 485 = (x + 5 ) (x + 97)
