What two numbers multiply to 872 and add up to 222?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 872 and add up to 222?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 218

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 218 multiply to 872 and add up to 222:

4 × 218 = 872
4 + 218 = 222

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

x² + 222x + 872 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 218)

To summarize, since 4 and 218 multiply to 872 and add up 222, you know that the following is true:

x² + 222x + 872 = (x + 4 ) (x + 218)
