What two numbers multiply to 540 and add up to 272?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 540 and add up to 272?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 270

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 270 multiply to 540 and add up to 272:

2 × 270 = 540
2 + 270 = 272

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

x² + 272x + 540 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 270)

To summarize, since 2 and 270 multiply to 540 and add up 272, you know that the following is true:

x² + 272x + 540 = (x + 2 ) (x + 270)
