What two numbers multiply to 342 and add up to 117?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 342 and add up to 117?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 114

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 114 multiply to 342 and add up to 117:

3 × 114 = 342
3 + 114 = 117

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

x² + 117x + 342 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 114)

To summarize, since 3 and 114 multiply to 342 and add up 117, you know that the following is true:

x² + 117x + 342 = (x + 3 ) (x + 114)
