What two numbers multiply to 717 and add up to 242?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 717 and add up to 242?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 239

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 239 multiply to 717 and add up to 242:

3 × 239 = 717
3 + 239 = 242

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

x² + 242x + 717 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 239)

To summarize, since 3 and 239 multiply to 717 and add up 242, you know that the following is true:

x² + 242x + 717 = (x + 3 ) (x + 239)
