What two numbers multiply to 260 and add up to 36?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 260 and add up to 36?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 26 multiply to 260 and add up to 36:

10 × 26 = 260
10 + 26 = 36

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

x² + 36x + 260 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 10 and 26 multiply to 260 and add up 36, you know that the following is true:

x² + 36x + 260 = (x + 10 ) (x + 26)
