What two numbers multiply to 26 and add up to 15?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 26 and add up to 15?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 13

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 13 multiply to 26 and add up to 15:

2 × 13 = 26
2 + 13 = 15

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

x² + 15x + 26 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 13)

To summarize, since 2 and 13 multiply to 26 and add up 15, you know that the following is true:

x² + 15x + 26 = (x + 2 ) (x + 13)
