What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 79?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 79?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 76

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 76 multiply to 228 and add up to 79:

3 × 76 = 228
3 + 76 = 79

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

x² + 79x + 228 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 76)

To summarize, since 3 and 76 multiply to 228 and add up 79, you know that the following is true:

x² + 79x + 228 = (x + 3 ) (x + 76)
