Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 868 and add up to 221?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 217

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 217 multiply to 868 and add up to 221:

4 × 217 = 868
4 + 217 = 221

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

x² + 221x + 868 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 217)

To summarize, since 4 and 217 multiply to 868 and add up 221, you know that the following is true:

x² + 221x + 868 = (x + 4 ) (x + 217)
