What two numbers multiply to 917 and add up to 138?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 917 and add up to 138?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 131

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 131 multiply to 917 and add up to 138:

7 × 131 = 917
7 + 131 = 138

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

x² + 138x + 917 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 131)

To summarize, since 7 and 131 multiply to 917 and add up 138, you know that the following is true:

x² + 138x + 917 = (x + 7 ) (x + 131)
