What two numbers multiply to 788 and add up to 201?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 788 and add up to 201?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 197

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 197 multiply to 788 and add up to 201:

4 × 197 = 788
4 + 197 = 201

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

x² + 201x + 788 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 197)

To summarize, since 4 and 197 multiply to 788 and add up 201, you know that the following is true:

x² + 201x + 788 = (x + 4 ) (x + 197)
