What two numbers multiply to 417 and add up to 142?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 417 and add up to 142?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 139

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 139 multiply to 417 and add up to 142:

3 × 139 = 417
3 + 139 = 142

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

x² + 142x + 417 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 139)

To summarize, since 3 and 139 multiply to 417 and add up 142, you know that the following is true:

x² + 142x + 417 = (x + 3 ) (x + 139)
