What two numbers multiply to 286 and add up to 37?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 286 and add up to 37?"

The answer to your question is:

11 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 11 and 26 multiply to 286 and add up to 37:

11 × 26 = 286
11 + 26 = 37

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

x² + 37x + 286 = 0

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

(x + 11 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 11 and 26 multiply to 286 and add up 37, you know that the following is true:

x² + 37x + 286 = (x + 11 ) (x + 26)
