What two numbers multiply to 64 and add up to 16?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 64 and add up to 16?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 8

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 8 multiply to 64 and add up to 16:

8 × 8 = 64
8 + 8 = 16

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

x² + 16x + 64 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 8)

To summarize, since 8 and 8 multiply to 64 and add up 16, you know that the following is true:

x² + 16x + 64 = (x + 8 ) (x + 8)
