What two numbers multiply to 561 and add up to 50?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 561 and add up to 50?"

The answer to your question is:

17 and 33

Below we illustrate and prove that 17 and 33 multiply to 561 and add up to 50:

17 × 33 = 561
17 + 33 = 50

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

x² + 50x + 561 = 0

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

(x + 17 ) (x + 33)

To summarize, since 17 and 33 multiply to 561 and add up 50, you know that the following is true:

x² + 50x + 561 = (x + 17 ) (x + 33)
