What two numbers multiply to 196 and add up to 28?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 196 and add up to 28?"

The answer to your question is:

14 and 14

Below we illustrate and prove that 14 and 14 multiply to 196 and add up to 28:

14 × 14 = 196
14 + 14 = 28

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

x² + 28x + 196 = 0

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

(x + 14 ) (x + 14)

To summarize, since 14 and 14 multiply to 196 and add up 28, you know that the following is true:

x² + 28x + 196 = (x + 14 ) (x + 14)
