What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 79?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 79?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 72

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 72 multiply to 504 and add up to 79:

7 × 72 = 504
7 + 72 = 79

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

x² + 79x + 504 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 72)

To summarize, since 7 and 72 multiply to 504 and add up 79, you know that the following is true:

x² + 79x + 504 = (x + 7 ) (x + 72)
