What two numbers multiply to 432 and add up to 147?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 432 and add up to 147?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 144

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 144 multiply to 432 and add up to 147:

3 × 144 = 432
3 + 144 = 147

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

x² + 147x + 432 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 144)

To summarize, since 3 and 144 multiply to 432 and add up 147, you know that the following is true:

x² + 147x + 432 = (x + 3 ) (x + 144)
