What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 277?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 277?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 275

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 275 multiply to 550 and add up to 277:

2 × 275 = 550
2 + 275 = 277

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

x² + 277x + 550 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 275)

To summarize, since 2 and 275 multiply to 550 and add up 277, you know that the following is true:

x² + 277x + 550 = (x + 2 ) (x + 275)
