What two numbers multiply to 388 and add up to 101?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 388 and add up to 101?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 97

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 97 multiply to 388 and add up to 101:

4 × 97 = 388
4 + 97 = 101

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

x² + 101x + 388 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 97)

To summarize, since 4 and 97 multiply to 388 and add up 101, you know that the following is true:

x² + 101x + 388 = (x + 4 ) (x + 97)
