What two numbers multiply to 900 and add up to 87?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 900 and add up to 87?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 75

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 75 multiply to 900 and add up to 87:

12 × 75 = 900
12 + 75 = 87

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

x² + 87x + 900 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 75)

To summarize, since 12 and 75 multiply to 900 and add up 87, you know that the following is true:

x² + 87x + 900 = (x + 12 ) (x + 75)
