What two numbers multiply to 744 and add up to 74?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 744 and add up to 74?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 62

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 62 multiply to 744 and add up to 74:

12 × 62 = 744
12 + 62 = 74

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

x² + 74x + 744 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 62)

To summarize, since 12 and 62 multiply to 744 and add up 74, you know that the following is true:

x² + 74x + 744 = (x + 12 ) (x + 62)
