What two numbers multiply to 426 and add up to 145?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 426 and add up to 145?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 142

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 142 multiply to 426 and add up to 145:

3 × 142 = 426
3 + 142 = 145

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

x² + 145x + 426 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 142)

To summarize, since 3 and 142 multiply to 426 and add up 145, you know that the following is true:

x² + 145x + 426 = (x + 3 ) (x + 142)
