What two numbers multiply to 470 and add up to 237?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 470 and add up to 237?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 235

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 235 multiply to 470 and add up to 237:

2 × 235 = 470
2 + 235 = 237

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

x² + 237x + 470 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 235)

To summarize, since 2 and 235 multiply to 470 and add up 237, you know that the following is true:

x² + 237x + 470 = (x + 2 ) (x + 235)
