What two numbers multiply to 372 and add up to 188?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 372 and add up to 188?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 186

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 186 multiply to 372 and add up to 188:

2 × 186 = 372
2 + 186 = 188

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

x² + 188x + 372 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 186)

To summarize, since 2 and 186 multiply to 372 and add up 188, you know that the following is true:

x² + 188x + 372 = (x + 2 ) (x + 186)
