What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 87?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 486 and add up to 87?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 81

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 81 multiply to 486 and add up to 87:

6 × 81 = 486
6 + 81 = 87

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

x² + 87x + 486 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 81)

To summarize, since 6 and 81 multiply to 486 and add up 87, you know that the following is true:

x² + 87x + 486 = (x + 6 ) (x + 81)
