What two numbers multiply to 69 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 69 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 23

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 23 multiply to 69 and add up to 26:

3 × 23 = 69
3 + 23 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 69 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 23)

To summarize, since 3 and 23 multiply to 69 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 69 = (x + 3 ) (x + 23)
