What two numbers multiply to 608 and add up to 54?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 608 and add up to 54?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 38 multiply to 608 and add up to 54:

16 × 38 = 608
16 + 38 = 54

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

x² + 54x + 608 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 16 and 38 multiply to 608 and add up 54, you know that the following is true:

x² + 54x + 608 = (x + 16 ) (x + 38)
