What two numbers multiply to 272 and add up to 138?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 272 and add up to 138?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 136

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 136 multiply to 272 and add up to 138:

2 × 136 = 272
2 + 136 = 138

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

x² + 138x + 272 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 136)

To summarize, since 2 and 136 multiply to 272 and add up 138, you know that the following is true:

x² + 138x + 272 = (x + 2 ) (x + 136)
