What two numbers multiply to 169 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 169 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

13 and 13

Below we illustrate and prove that 13 and 13 multiply to 169 and add up to 26:

13 × 13 = 169
13 + 13 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 169 = 0

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

(x + 13 ) (x + 13)

To summarize, since 13 and 13 multiply to 169 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 169 = (x + 13 ) (x + 13)
