What two numbers multiply to 316 and add up to 83?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 316 and add up to 83?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 79

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 79 multiply to 316 and add up to 83:

4 × 79 = 316
4 + 79 = 83

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

x² + 83x + 316 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 79)

To summarize, since 4 and 79 multiply to 316 and add up 83, you know that the following is true:

x² + 83x + 316 = (x + 4 ) (x + 79)
