What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 56?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

11 and 45

Below we illustrate and prove that 11 and 45 multiply to 495 and add up to 56:

11 × 45 = 495
11 + 45 = 56

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

x² + 56x + 495 = 0

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

(x + 11 ) (x + 45)

To summarize, since 11 and 45 multiply to 495 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x² + 56x + 495 = (x + 11 ) (x + 45)
