What two numbers multiply to 744 and add up to 251?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 744 and add up to 251?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 248

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 248 multiply to 744 and add up to 251:

3 × 248 = 744
3 + 248 = 251

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

x² + 251x + 744 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 248)

To summarize, since 3 and 248 multiply to 744 and add up 251, you know that the following is true:

x² + 251x + 744 = (x + 3 ) (x + 248)
