What two numbers multiply to 119 and add up to 24?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 119 and add up to 24?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 17

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 17 multiply to 119 and add up to 24:

7 × 17 = 119
7 + 17 = 24

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

x² + 24x + 119 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 17)

To summarize, since 7 and 17 multiply to 119 and add up 24, you know that the following is true:

x² + 24x + 119 = (x + 7 ) (x + 17)
