What two numbers multiply to 834 and add up to 281?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 834 and add up to 281?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 278

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 278 multiply to 834 and add up to 281:

3 × 278 = 834
3 + 278 = 281

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

x² + 281x + 834 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 278)

To summarize, since 3 and 278 multiply to 834 and add up 281, you know that the following is true:

x² + 281x + 834 = (x + 3 ) (x + 278)
