What two numbers multiply to 372 and add up to 43?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 372 and add up to 43?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 31

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 31 multiply to 372 and add up to 43:

12 × 31 = 372
12 + 31 = 43

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

x² + 43x + 372 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 31)

To summarize, since 12 and 31 multiply to 372 and add up 43, you know that the following is true:

x² + 43x + 372 = (x + 12 ) (x + 31)
