What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 33?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 33?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 21

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 21 multiply to 252 and add up to 33:

12 × 21 = 252
12 + 21 = 33

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

x² + 33x + 252 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 21)

To summarize, since 12 and 21 multiply to 252 and add up 33, you know that the following is true:

x² + 33x + 252 = (x + 12 ) (x + 21)
