What two numbers multiply to 152 and add up to 78?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 152 and add up to 78?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 76

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 76 multiply to 152 and add up to 78:

2 × 76 = 152
2 + 76 = 78

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

x² + 78x + 152 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 76)

To summarize, since 2 and 76 multiply to 152 and add up 78, you know that the following is true:

x² + 78x + 152 = (x + 2 ) (x + 76)
