What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 146?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 146?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 144

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 144 multiply to 288 and add up to 146:

2 × 144 = 288
2 + 144 = 146

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

x² + 146x + 288 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 144)

To summarize, since 2 and 144 multiply to 288 and add up 146, you know that the following is true:

x² + 146x + 288 = (x + 2 ) (x + 144)
