What two numbers multiply to 299 and add up to 36?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 299 and add up to 36?"

The answer to your question is:

13 and 23

Below we illustrate and prove that 13 and 23 multiply to 299 and add up to 36:

13 × 23 = 299
13 + 23 = 36

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

x² + 36x + 299 = 0

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

(x + 13 ) (x + 23)

To summarize, since 13 and 23 multiply to 299 and add up 36, you know that the following is true:

x² + 36x + 299 = (x + 13 ) (x + 23)
