What two numbers multiply to 203 and add up to 36?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 203 and add up to 36?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 29

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 29 multiply to 203 and add up to 36:

7 × 29 = 203
7 + 29 = 36

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

x² + 36x + 203 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 29)

To summarize, since 7 and 29 multiply to 203 and add up 36, you know that the following is true:

x² + 36x + 203 = (x + 7 ) (x + 29)
