What two numbers multiply to 96 and add up to 28?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 96 and add up to 28?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 24

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 24 multiply to 96 and add up to 28:

4 × 24 = 96
4 + 24 = 28

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

x² + 28x + 96 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 24)

To summarize, since 4 and 24 multiply to 96 and add up 28, you know that the following is true:

x² + 28x + 96 = (x + 4 ) (x + 24)
