What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 143?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 143?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 141

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 141 multiply to 282 and add up to 143:

2 × 141 = 282
2 + 141 = 143

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

x² + 143x + 282 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 141)

To summarize, since 2 and 141 multiply to 282 and add up 143, you know that the following is true:

x² + 143x + 282 = (x + 2 ) (x + 141)
