What two numbers multiply to 770 and add up to 159?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 770 and add up to 159?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 154

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 154 multiply to 770 and add up to 159:

5 × 154 = 770
5 + 154 = 159

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

x² + 159x + 770 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 154)

To summarize, since 5 and 154 multiply to 770 and add up 159, you know that the following is true:

x² + 159x + 770 = (x + 5 ) (x + 154)
