What two numbers multiply to 230 and add up to 117?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 230 and add up to 117?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 115

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 115 multiply to 230 and add up to 117:

2 × 115 = 230
2 + 115 = 117

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

x² + 117x + 230 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 115)

To summarize, since 2 and 115 multiply to 230 and add up 117, you know that the following is true:

x² + 117x + 230 = (x + 2 ) (x + 115)
