What two numbers multiply to 156 and add up to 25?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 156 and add up to 25?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 13

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 13 multiply to 156 and add up to 25:

12 × 13 = 156
12 + 13 = 25

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

x² + 25x + 156 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 13)

To summarize, since 12 and 13 multiply to 156 and add up 25, you know that the following is true:

x² + 25x + 156 = (x + 12 ) (x + 13)
