What two numbers multiply to 259 and add up to 44?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 259 and add up to 44?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 37

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 37 multiply to 259 and add up to 44:

7 × 37 = 259
7 + 37 = 44

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

x² + 44x + 259 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 37)

To summarize, since 7 and 37 multiply to 259 and add up 44, you know that the following is true:

x² + 44x + 259 = (x + 7 ) (x + 37)
