What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 41?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 41?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 34

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 34 multiply to 238 and add up to 41:

7 × 34 = 238
7 + 34 = 41

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

x² + 41x + 238 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 34)

To summarize, since 7 and 34 multiply to 238 and add up 41, you know that the following is true:

x² + 41x + 238 = (x + 7 ) (x + 34)
