What two numbers multiply to 276 and add up to 140?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 276 and add up to 140?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 138

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 138 multiply to 276 and add up to 140:

2 × 138 = 276
2 + 138 = 140

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

x² + 140x + 276 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 138)

To summarize, since 2 and 138 multiply to 276 and add up 140, you know that the following is true:

x² + 140x + 276 = (x + 2 ) (x + 138)
