What two numbers multiply to 540 and add up to 47?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 540 and add up to 47?"

The answer to your question is:

20 and 27

Below we illustrate and prove that 20 and 27 multiply to 540 and add up to 47:

20 × 27 = 540
20 + 27 = 47

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

x² + 47x + 540 = 0

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

(x + 20 ) (x + 27)

To summarize, since 20 and 27 multiply to 540 and add up 47, you know that the following is true:

x² + 47x + 540 = (x + 20 ) (x + 27)
