What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 245?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 245?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 243

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 243 multiply to 486 and add up to 245:

2 × 243 = 486
2 + 243 = 245

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

x² + 245x + 486 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 243)

To summarize, since 2 and 243 multiply to 486 and add up 245, you know that the following is true:

x² + 245x + 486 = (x + 2 ) (x + 243)
