What two numbers multiply to 396 and add up to 200?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 396 and add up to 200?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 198

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 198 multiply to 396 and add up to 200:

2 × 198 = 396
2 + 198 = 200

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

x² + 200x + 396 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 198)

To summarize, since 2 and 198 multiply to 396 and add up 200, you know that the following is true:

x² + 200x + 396 = (x + 2 ) (x + 198)
