What two numbers multiply to 900 and add up to 229?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 900 and add up to 229?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 225

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 225 multiply to 900 and add up to 229:

4 × 225 = 900
4 + 225 = 229

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

x² + 229x + 900 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 225)

To summarize, since 4 and 225 multiply to 900 and add up 229, you know that the following is true:

x² + 229x + 900 = (x + 4 ) (x + 225)
