What two numbers multiply to 165 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 165 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

11 and 15

Below we illustrate and prove that 11 and 15 multiply to 165 and add up to 26:

11 × 15 = 165
11 + 15 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 165 = 0

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

(x + 11 ) (x + 15)

To summarize, since 11 and 15 multiply to 165 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 165 = (x + 11 ) (x + 15)
