What two numbers multiply to 600 and add up to 125?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 600 and add up to 125?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 120

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 120 multiply to 600 and add up to 125:

5 × 120 = 600
5 + 120 = 125

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

x² + 125x + 600 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 120)

To summarize, since 5 and 120 multiply to 600 and add up 125, you know that the following is true:

x² + 125x + 600 = (x + 5 ) (x + 120)
