Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 777 and add up to 262?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 259

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 259 multiply to 777 and add up to 262:

3 × 259 = 777
3 + 259 = 262

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

x² + 262x + 777 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 259)

To summarize, since 3 and 259 multiply to 777 and add up 262, you know that the following is true:

x² + 262x + 777 = (x + 3 ) (x + 259)
