What two numbers multiply to 232 and add up to 118?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 232 and add up to 118?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 116

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 116 multiply to 232 and add up to 118:

2 × 116 = 232
2 + 116 = 118

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

x² + 118x + 232 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 116)

To summarize, since 2 and 116 multiply to 232 and add up 118, you know that the following is true:

x² + 118x + 232 = (x + 2 ) (x + 116)
