What two numbers multiply to 390 and add up to 197?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 390 and add up to 197?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 195

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 195 multiply to 390 and add up to 197:

2 × 195 = 390
2 + 195 = 197

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

x² + 197x + 390 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 195)

To summarize, since 2 and 195 multiply to 390 and add up 197, you know that the following is true:

x² + 197x + 390 = (x + 2 ) (x + 195)
