What two numbers multiply to 546 and add up to 85?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 546 and add up to 85?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 78

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 78 multiply to 546 and add up to 85:

7 × 78 = 546
7 + 78 = 85

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

x² + 85x + 546 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 78)

To summarize, since 7 and 78 multiply to 546 and add up 85, you know that the following is true:

x² + 85x + 546 = (x + 7 ) (x + 78)
