What two numbers multiply to 294 and add up to 101?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 294 and add up to 101?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 98

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 98 multiply to 294 and add up to 101:

3 × 98 = 294
3 + 98 = 101

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

x² + 101x + 294 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 98)

To summarize, since 3 and 98 multiply to 294 and add up 101, you know that the following is true:

x² + 101x + 294 = (x + 3 ) (x + 98)
