What two numbers multiply to 500 and add up to 60?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 500 and add up to 60?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 50

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 50 multiply to 500 and add up to 60:

10 × 50 = 500
10 + 50 = 60

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

x² + 60x + 500 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 50)

To summarize, since 10 and 50 multiply to 500 and add up 60, you know that the following is true:

x² + 60x + 500 = (x + 10 ) (x + 50)
