What two numbers multiply to 266 and add up to 45?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 266 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 38 multiply to 266 and add up to 45:

7 × 38 = 266
7 + 38 = 45

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

x² + 45x + 266 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 7 and 38 multiply to 266 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x² + 45x + 266 = (x + 7 ) (x + 38)
