What two numbers multiply to 204 and add up to 29?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 204 and add up to 29?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 17

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 17 multiply to 204 and add up to 29:

12 × 17 = 204
12 + 17 = 29

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

x² + 29x + 204 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 17)

To summarize, since 12 and 17 multiply to 204 and add up 29, you know that the following is true:

x² + 29x + 204 = (x + 12 ) (x + 17)
