What two numbers multiply to 720 and add up to 56?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 720 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

20 and 36

Below we illustrate and prove that 20 and 36 multiply to 720 and add up to 56:

20 × 36 = 720
20 + 36 = 56

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

x² + 56x + 720 = 0

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

(x + 20 ) (x + 36)

To summarize, since 20 and 36 multiply to 720 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x² + 56x + 720 = (x + 20 ) (x + 36)
