What two numbers multiply to 765 and add up to 158?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 765 and add up to 158?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 153

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 153 multiply to 765 and add up to 158:

5 × 153 = 765
5 + 153 = 158

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

x² + 158x + 765 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 153)

To summarize, since 5 and 153 multiply to 765 and add up 158, you know that the following is true:

x² + 158x + 765 = (x + 5 ) (x + 153)
