What two numbers multiply to 789 and add up to 266?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 789 and add up to 266?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 263

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 263 multiply to 789 and add up to 266:

3 × 263 = 789
3 + 263 = 266

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

x² + 266x + 789 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 263)

To summarize, since 3 and 263 multiply to 789 and add up 266, you know that the following is true:

x² + 266x + 789 = (x + 3 ) (x + 263)
