What two numbers multiply to 551 and add up to 48?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 551 and add up to 48?"

The answer to your question is:

19 and 29

Below we illustrate and prove that 19 and 29 multiply to 551 and add up to 48:

19 × 29 = 551
19 + 29 = 48

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

x² + 48x + 551 = 0

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

(x + 19 ) (x + 29)

To summarize, since 19 and 29 multiply to 551 and add up 48, you know that the following is true:

x² + 48x + 551 = (x + 19 ) (x + 29)
