What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 116?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 116?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 114

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 114 multiply to 228 and add up to 116:

2 × 114 = 228
2 + 114 = 116

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

x² + 116x + 228 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 114)

To summarize, since 2 and 114 multiply to 228 and add up 116, you know that the following is true:

x² + 116x + 228 = (x + 2 ) (x + 114)
