What two numbers multiply to 96 and add up to 50?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 96 and add up to 50?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 48

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 48 multiply to 96 and add up to 50:

2 × 48 = 96
2 + 48 = 50

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

x² + 50x + 96 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 48)

To summarize, since 2 and 48 multiply to 96 and add up 50, you know that the following is true:

x² + 50x + 96 = (x + 2 ) (x + 48)
