What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 97?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 97?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 94

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 94 multiply to 282 and add up to 97:

3 × 94 = 282
3 + 94 = 97

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

x² + 97x + 282 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 94)

To summarize, since 3 and 94 multiply to 282 and add up 97, you know that the following is true:

x² + 97x + 282 = (x + 3 ) (x + 94)
