Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 556 and add up to 143?"
The answer to your question is:
4 and 139
Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 139 multiply to 556 and add up to 143:
4 × 139 = 556
4 + 139 = 143
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 143x + 556 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x + 4 ) (x + 139)
To summarize, since 4 and 139 multiply to 556 and add up 143, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 143x + 556 = (x + 4 ) (x + 139)
