What two numbers multiply to 896 and add up to 72?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 896 and add up to 72?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 56

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 56 multiply to 896 and add up to 72:

16 × 56 = 896
16 + 56 = 72

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

x² + 72x + 896 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 56)

To summarize, since 16 and 56 multiply to 896 and add up 72, you know that the following is true:

x² + 72x + 896 = (x + 16 ) (x + 56)
