What two numbers multiply to 250 and add up to 127?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 250 and add up to 127?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 125

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 125 multiply to 250 and add up to 127:

2 × 125 = 250
2 + 125 = 127

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

x² + 127x + 250 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 125)

To summarize, since 2 and 125 multiply to 250 and add up 127, you know that the following is true:

x² + 127x + 250 = (x + 2 ) (x + 125)
