What two numbers multiply to 60 and add up to 23?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 60 and add up to 23?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 20

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 20 multiply to 60 and add up to 23:

3 × 20 = 60
3 + 20 = 23

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

x² + 23x + 60 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 20)

To summarize, since 3 and 20 multiply to 60 and add up 23, you know that the following is true:

x² + 23x + 60 = (x + 3 ) (x + 20)
