Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 852 and add up to 428?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 426

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 426 multiply to 852 and add up to 428:

2 × 426 = 852
2 + 426 = 428

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

x² + 428x + 852 = 0
