Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 246 and add up to 125?"
The answer to your question is:
2 and 123
Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 123 multiply to 246 and add up to 125:
2 × 123 = 246
2 + 123 = 125
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 125x + 246 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x + 2 ) (x + 123)
To summarize, since 2 and 123 multiply to 246 and add up 125, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 125x + 246 = (x + 2 ) (x + 123)
