What two numbers multiply to 60 and add up to 16?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 60 and add up to 16?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 10

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 10 multiply to 60 and add up to 16:

6 × 10 = 60
6 + 10 = 16

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

x² + 16x + 60 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 10)

To summarize, since 6 and 10 multiply to 60 and add up 16, you know that the following is true:

x² + 16x + 60 = (x + 6 ) (x + 10)
