What two numbers multiply to 188 and add up to 96?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 188 and add up to 96?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 94

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 94 multiply to 188 and add up to 96:

2 × 94 = 188
2 + 94 = 96

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

x² + 96x + 188 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 94)

To summarize, since 2 and 94 multiply to 188 and add up 96, you know that the following is true:

x² + 96x + 188 = (x + 2 ) (x + 94)
