What two numbers multiply to 508 and add up to 131?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 508 and add up to 131?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 127

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 127 multiply to 508 and add up to 131:

4 × 127 = 508
4 + 127 = 131

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

x² + 131x + 508 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 127)

To summarize, since 4 and 127 multiply to 508 and add up 131, you know that the following is true:

x² + 131x + 508 = (x + 4 ) (x + 127)
