What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 121?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 121?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 119

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 119 multiply to 238 and add up to 121:

2 × 119 = 238
2 + 119 = 121

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

x² + 121x + 238 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 119)

To summarize, since 2 and 119 multiply to 238 and add up 121, you know that the following is true:

x² + 121x + 238 = (x + 2 ) (x + 119)
