What two numbers multiply to 222 and add up to 77?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 222 and add up to 77?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 74

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 74 multiply to 222 and add up to 77:

3 × 74 = 222
3 + 74 = 77

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

x² + 77x + 222 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 74)

To summarize, since 3 and 74 multiply to 222 and add up 77, you know that the following is true:

x² + 77x + 222 = (x + 3 ) (x + 74)
