What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 45?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

18 and 27

Below we illustrate and prove that 18 and 27 multiply to 486 and add up to 45:

18 × 27 = 486
18 + 27 = 45

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

x² + 45x + 486 = 0

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

(x + 18 ) (x + 27)

To summarize, since 18 and 27 multiply to 486 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x² + 45x + 486 = (x + 18 ) (x + 27)
