What two numbers multiply to 140 and add up to 24?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 140 and add up to 24?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 14

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 14 multiply to 140 and add up to 24:

10 × 14 = 140
10 + 14 = 24

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

x² + 24x + 140 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 14)

To summarize, since 10 and 14 multiply to 140 and add up 24, you know that the following is true:

x² + 24x + 140 = (x + 10 ) (x + 14)
