What two numbers multiply to 436 and add up to 220?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 436 and add up to 220?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 218

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 218 multiply to 436 and add up to 220:

2 × 218 = 436
2 + 218 = 220

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

x² + 220x + 436 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 218)

To summarize, since 2 and 218 multiply to 436 and add up 220, you know that the following is true:

x² + 220x + 436 = (x + 2 ) (x + 218)
