What two numbers multiply to 771 and add up to 260?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 771 and add up to 260?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 257

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 257 multiply to 771 and add up to 260:

3 × 257 = 771
3 + 257 = 260

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

x² + 260x + 771 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 257)

To summarize, since 3 and 257 multiply to 771 and add up 260, you know that the following is true:

x² + 260x + 771 = (x + 3 ) (x + 257)
