What two numbers multiply to 546 and add up to 47?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 546 and add up to 47?"

The answer to your question is:

21 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 21 and 26 multiply to 546 and add up to 47:

21 × 26 = 546
21 + 26 = 47

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

x² + 47x + 546 = 0

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

(x + 21 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 21 and 26 multiply to 546 and add up 47, you know that the following is true:

x² + 47x + 546 = (x + 21 ) (x + 26)
