What two numbers multiply to 160 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 160 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 16

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 16 multiply to 160 and add up to 26:

10 × 16 = 160
10 + 16 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 160 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 16)

To summarize, since 10 and 16 multiply to 160 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 160 = (x + 10 ) (x + 16)
