What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to 60?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to 60?"

The answer to your question is:

24 and 36

Below we illustrate and prove that 24 and 36 multiply to 864 and add up to 60:

24 × 36 = 864
24 + 36 = 60

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

x² + 60x + 864 = 0

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

(x + 24 ) (x + 36)

To summarize, since 24 and 36 multiply to 864 and add up 60, you know that the following is true:

x² + 60x + 864 = (x + 24 ) (x + 36)
