What two numbers multiply to 959 and add up to 144?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 959 and add up to 144?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 137

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 137 multiply to 959 and add up to 144:

7 × 137 = 959
7 + 137 = 144

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

x² + 144x + 959 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 137)

To summarize, since 7 and 137 multiply to 959 and add up 144, you know that the following is true:

x² + 144x + 959 = (x + 7 ) (x + 137)
