What two numbers multiply to 896 and add up to 228?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 896 and add up to 228?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 224

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 224 multiply to 896 and add up to 228:

4 × 224 = 896
4 + 224 = 228

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

x² + 228x + 896 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 224)

To summarize, since 4 and 224 multiply to 896 and add up 228, you know that the following is true:

x² + 228x + 896 = (x + 4 ) (x + 224)
