What two numbers multiply to 796 and add up to 203?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 796 and add up to 203?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 199

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 199 multiply to 796 and add up to 203:

4 × 199 = 796
4 + 199 = 203

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

x² + 203x + 796 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 199)

To summarize, since 4 and 199 multiply to 796 and add up 203, you know that the following is true:

x² + 203x + 796 = (x + 4 ) (x + 199)
