What two numbers multiply to 291 and add up to 100?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 291 and add up to 100?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 97

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 97 multiply to 291 and add up to 100:

3 × 97 = 291
3 + 97 = 100

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

x² + 100x + 291 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 97)

To summarize, since 3 and 97 multiply to 291 and add up 100, you know that the following is true:

x² + 100x + 291 = (x + 3 ) (x + 97)
