Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 284 and add up to 144?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 142

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 142 multiply to 284 and add up to 144:

2 × 142 = 284
2 + 142 = 144

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

x² + 144x + 284 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 142)

To summarize, since 2 and 142 multiply to 284 and add up 144, you know that the following is true:

x² + 144x + 284 = (x + 2 ) (x + 142)
