What two numbers multiply to 204 and add up to 104?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 204 and add up to 104?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 102

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 102 multiply to 204 and add up to 104:

2 × 102 = 204
2 + 102 = 104

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

x² + 104x + 204 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 102)

To summarize, since 2 and 102 multiply to 204 and add up 104, you know that the following is true:

x² + 104x + 204 = (x + 2 ) (x + 102)
