What two numbers multiply to 955 and add up to 196?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 955 and add up to 196?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 191

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 191 multiply to 955 and add up to 196:

5 × 191 = 955
5 + 191 = 196

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

x² + 196x + 955 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 191)

To summarize, since 5 and 191 multiply to 955 and add up 196, you know that the following is true:

x² + 196x + 955 = (x + 5 ) (x + 191)
