What two numbers multiply to 279 and add up to 96?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 279 and add up to 96?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 93

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 93 multiply to 279 and add up to 96:

3 × 93 = 279
3 + 93 = 96

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

x² + 96x + 279 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 93)

To summarize, since 3 and 93 multiply to 279 and add up 96, you know that the following is true:

x² + 96x + 279 = (x + 3 ) (x + 93)
