What two numbers multiply to 50 and add up to 27?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 50 and add up to 27?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 25

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 25 multiply to 50 and add up to 27:

2 × 25 = 50
2 + 25 = 27

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

x² + 27x + 50 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 25)

To summarize, since 2 and 25 multiply to 50 and add up 27, you know that the following is true:

x² + 27x + 50 = (x + 2 ) (x + 25)
