What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 63?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 63?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 54

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 54 multiply to 486 and add up to 63:

9 × 54 = 486
9 + 54 = 63

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

x² + 63x + 486 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 54)

To summarize, since 9 and 54 multiply to 486 and add up 63, you know that the following is true:

x² + 63x + 486 = (x + 9 ) (x + 54)
