What two numbers multiply to 408 and add up to 206?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 408 and add up to 206?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 204

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 204 multiply to 408 and add up to 206:

2 × 204 = 408
2 + 204 = 206

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

x² + 206x + 408 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 204)

To summarize, since 2 and 204 multiply to 408 and add up 206, you know that the following is true:

x² + 206x + 408 = (x + 2 ) (x + 204)
