What two numbers multiply to 888 and add up to 61?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 888 and add up to 61?"

The answer to your question is:

24 and 37

Below we illustrate and prove that 24 and 37 multiply to 888 and add up to 61:

24 × 37 = 888
24 + 37 = 61

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

x² + 61x + 888 = 0

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

(x + 24 ) (x + 37)

To summarize, since 24 and 37 multiply to 888 and add up 61, you know that the following is true:

x² + 61x + 888 = (x + 24 ) (x + 37)
