What two numbers multiply to 377 and add up to 42?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 377 and add up to 42?"

The answer to your question is:

13 and 29

Below we illustrate and prove that 13 and 29 multiply to 377 and add up to 42:

13 × 29 = 377
13 + 29 = 42

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

x² + 42x + 377 = 0

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

(x + 13 ) (x + 29)

To summarize, since 13 and 29 multiply to 377 and add up 42, you know that the following is true:

x² + 42x + 377 = (x + 13 ) (x + 29)
