What two numbers multiply to 456 and add up to 230?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 456 and add up to 230?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 228

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 228 multiply to 456 and add up to 230:

2 × 228 = 456
2 + 228 = 230

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

x² + 230x + 456 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 228)

To summarize, since 2 and 228 multiply to 456 and add up 230, you know that the following is true:

x² + 230x + 456 = (x + 2 ) (x + 228)
