Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 444 and add up to 224?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 222

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 222 multiply to 444 and add up to 224:

2 × 222 = 444
2 + 222 = 224

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

x² + 224x + 444 = 0
