Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 742 and add up to 373?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 371

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 371 multiply to 742 and add up to 373:

2 × 371 = 742
2 + 371 = 373

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

x² + 373x + 742 = 0
