What two numbers multiply to 448 and add up to 226?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 448 and add up to 226?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 224

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 224 multiply to 448 and add up to 226:

2 × 224 = 448
2 + 224 = 226

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

x² + 226x + 448 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 224)

To summarize, since 2 and 224 multiply to 448 and add up 226, you know that the following is true:

x² + 226x + 448 = (x + 2 ) (x + 224)
