What two numbers multiply to 524 and add up to 264?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 524 and add up to 264?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 262

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 262 multiply to 524 and add up to 264:

2 × 262 = 524
2 + 262 = 264

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

x² + 264x + 524 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 262)

To summarize, since 2 and 262 multiply to 524 and add up 264, you know that the following is true:

x² + 264x + 524 = (x + 2 ) (x + 262)
