What two numbers multiply to 759 and add up to 256?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 759 and add up to 256?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 253

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 253 multiply to 759 and add up to 256:

3 × 253 = 759
3 + 253 = 256

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

x² + 256x + 759 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 253)

To summarize, since 3 and 253 multiply to 759 and add up 256, you know that the following is true:

x² + 256x + 759 = (x + 3 ) (x + 253)
