What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 14

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 14 multiply to 168 and add up to 26:

12 × 14 = 168
12 + 14 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 168 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 14)

To summarize, since 12 and 14 multiply to 168 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 168 = (x + 12 ) (x + 14)
