What two numbers multiply to 438 and add up to 149?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 438 and add up to 149?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 146

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 146 multiply to 438 and add up to 149:

3 × 146 = 438
3 + 146 = 149

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

x² + 149x + 438 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 146)

To summarize, since 3 and 146 multiply to 438 and add up 149, you know that the following is true:

x² + 149x + 438 = (x + 3 ) (x + 146)
