What two numbers multiply to 308 and add up to 156?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 308 and add up to 156?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 154

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 154 multiply to 308 and add up to 156:

2 × 154 = 308
2 + 154 = 156

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

x² + 156x + 308 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 154)

To summarize, since 2 and 154 multiply to 308 and add up 156, you know that the following is true:

x² + 156x + 308 = (x + 2 ) (x + 154)
