What two numbers multiply to 242 and add up to 123?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 242 and add up to 123?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 121

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 121 multiply to 242 and add up to 123:

2 × 121 = 242
2 + 121 = 123

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

x² + 123x + 242 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 121)

To summarize, since 2 and 121 multiply to 242 and add up 123, you know that the following is true:

x² + 123x + 242 = (x + 2 ) (x + 121)
