What two numbers multiply to 747 and add up to 252?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 747 and add up to 252?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 249

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 249 multiply to 747 and add up to 252:

3 × 249 = 747
3 + 249 = 252

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

x² + 252x + 747 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 249)

To summarize, since 3 and 249 multiply to 747 and add up 252, you know that the following is true:

x² + 252x + 747 = (x + 3 ) (x + 249)
