What two numbers multiply to 711 and add up to 240?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 711 and add up to 240?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 237

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 237 multiply to 711 and add up to 240:

3 × 237 = 711
3 + 237 = 240

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

x² + 240x + 711 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 237)

To summarize, since 3 and 237 multiply to 711 and add up 240, you know that the following is true:

x² + 240x + 711 = (x + 3 ) (x + 237)
