What two numbers multiply to 296 and add up to 150?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 296 and add up to 150?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 148

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 148 multiply to 296 and add up to 150:

2 × 148 = 296
2 + 148 = 150

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

x² + 150x + 296 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 148)

To summarize, since 2 and 148 multiply to 296 and add up 150, you know that the following is true:

x² + 150x + 296 = (x + 2 ) (x + 148)
