What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 128?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 128?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 126

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 126 multiply to 252 and add up to 128:

2 × 126 = 252
2 + 126 = 128

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

x² + 128x + 252 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 126)

To summarize, since 2 and 126 multiply to 252 and add up 128, you know that the following is true:

x² + 128x + 252 = (x + 2 ) (x + 126)
