What two numbers multiply to 472 and add up to 122?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 472 and add up to 122?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 118

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 118 multiply to 472 and add up to 122:

4 × 118 = 472
4 + 118 = 122

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

x² + 122x + 472 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 118)

To summarize, since 4 and 118 multiply to 472 and add up 122, you know that the following is true:

x² + 122x + 472 = (x + 4 ) (x + 118)
