What two numbers multiply to 520 and add up to 46?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 520 and add up to 46?"

The answer to your question is:

20 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 20 and 26 multiply to 520 and add up to 46:

20 × 26 = 520
20 + 26 = 46

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

x² + 46x + 520 = 0

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

(x + 20 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 20 and 26 multiply to 520 and add up 46, you know that the following is true:

x² + 46x + 520 = (x + 20 ) (x + 26)
