What two numbers multiply to 740 and add up to 57?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 740 and add up to 57?"

The answer to your question is:

20 and 37

Below we illustrate and prove that 20 and 37 multiply to 740 and add up to 57:

20 × 37 = 740
20 + 37 = 57

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

x² + 57x + 740 = 0

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

(x + 20 ) (x + 37)

To summarize, since 20 and 37 multiply to 740 and add up 57, you know that the following is true:

x² + 57x + 740 = (x + 20 ) (x + 37)
