What two numbers multiply to 768 and add up to 259?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 768 and add up to 259?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 256

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 256 multiply to 768 and add up to 259:

3 × 256 = 768
3 + 256 = 259

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

x² + 259x + 768 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 256)

To summarize, since 3 and 256 multiply to 768 and add up 259, you know that the following is true:

x² + 259x + 768 = (x + 3 ) (x + 256)
