What two numbers multiply to 650 and add up to 51?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 650 and add up to 51?"

The answer to your question is:

25 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 25 and 26 multiply to 650 and add up to 51:

25 × 26 = 650
25 + 26 = 51

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

x² + 51x + 650 = 0

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

(x + 25 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 25 and 26 multiply to 650 and add up 51, you know that the following is true:

x² + 51x + 650 = (x + 25 ) (x + 26)
