What two numbers multiply to 164 and add up to 45?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 164 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 41 multiply to 164 and add up to 45:

4 × 41 = 164
4 + 41 = 45

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

x² + 45x + 164 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 4 and 41 multiply to 164 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x² + 45x + 164 = (x + 4 ) (x + 41)
