What two numbers multiply to 302 and add up to 153?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 302 and add up to 153?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 151

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 151 multiply to 302 and add up to 153:

2 × 151 = 302
2 + 151 = 153

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

x² + 153x + 302 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 151)

To summarize, since 2 and 151 multiply to 302 and add up 153, you know that the following is true:

x² + 153x + 302 = (x + 2 ) (x + 151)
