What two numbers multiply to 316 and add up to 160?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 316 and add up to 160?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 158

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 158 multiply to 316 and add up to 160:

2 × 158 = 316
2 + 158 = 160

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

x² + 160x + 316 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 158)

To summarize, since 2 and 158 multiply to 316 and add up 160, you know that the following is true:

x² + 160x + 316 = (x + 2 ) (x + 158)
