What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 142?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 142?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 138

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 138 multiply to 552 and add up to 142:

4 × 138 = 552
4 + 138 = 142

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

x² + 142x + 552 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 138)

To summarize, since 4 and 138 multiply to 552 and add up 142, you know that the following is true:

x² + 142x + 552 = (x + 4 ) (x + 138)
