What two numbers multiply to 908 and add up to 231?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 908 and add up to 231?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 227

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 227 multiply to 908 and add up to 231:

4 × 227 = 908
4 + 227 = 231

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

x² + 231x + 908 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 227)

To summarize, since 4 and 227 multiply to 908 and add up 231, you know that the following is true:

x² + 231x + 908 = (x + 4 ) (x + 227)
