What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 427?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 427?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 425

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 425 multiply to 850 and add up to 427:

2 × 425 = 850
2 + 425 = 427

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

x² + 427x + 850 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 425)

To summarize, since 2 and 425 multiply to 850 and add up 427, you know that the following is true:

x² + 427x + 850 = (x + 2 ) (x + 425)
