What two numbers multiply to 526 and add up to 265?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 526 and add up to 265?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 263

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 263 multiply to 526 and add up to 265:

2 × 263 = 526
2 + 263 = 265

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

x² + 265x + 526 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 263)

To summarize, since 2 and 263 multiply to 526 and add up 265, you know that the following is true:

x² + 265x + 526 = (x + 2 ) (x + 263)
