What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 254?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 254?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 252

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 252 multiply to 504 and add up to 254:

2 × 252 = 504
2 + 252 = 254

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

x² + 254x + 504 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 252)

To summarize, since 2 and 252 multiply to 504 and add up 254, you know that the following is true:

x² + 254x + 504 = (x + 2 ) (x + 252)
