What two numbers multiply to 655 and add up to 136?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 655 and add up to 136?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 131

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 131 multiply to 655 and add up to 136:

5 × 131 = 655
5 + 131 = 136

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

x² + 136x + 655 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 131)

To summarize, since 5 and 131 multiply to 655 and add up 136, you know that the following is true:

x² + 136x + 655 = (x + 5 ) (x + 131)
