What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 53?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 53?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 41 multiply to 492 and add up to 53:

12 × 41 = 492
12 + 41 = 53

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

x² + 53x + 492 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 12 and 41 multiply to 492 and add up 53, you know that the following is true:

x² + 53x + 492 = (x + 12 ) (x + 41)
