What two numbers multiply to 153 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 153 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 17

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 17 multiply to 153 and add up to 26:

9 × 17 = 153
9 + 17 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 153 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 17)

To summarize, since 9 and 17 multiply to 153 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 153 = (x + 9 ) (x + 17)
