What two numbers multiply to 262 and add up to 133?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 262 and add up to 133?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 131

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 131 multiply to 262 and add up to 133:

2 × 131 = 262
2 + 131 = 133

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

x² + 133x + 262 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 131)

To summarize, since 2 and 131 multiply to 262 and add up 133, you know that the following is true:

x² + 133x + 262 = (x + 2 ) (x + 131)
