Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 842 and add up to 423?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 421

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 421 multiply to 842 and add up to 423:

2 × 421 = 842
2 + 421 = 423

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

x² + 423x + 842 = 0
