What two numbers multiply to 962 and add up to 87?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 962 and add up to 87?"

The answer to your question is:

13 and 74

Below we illustrate and prove that 13 and 74 multiply to 962 and add up to 87:

13 × 74 = 962
13 + 74 = 87

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

x² + 87x + 962 = 0

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

(x + 13 ) (x + 74)

To summarize, since 13 and 74 multiply to 962 and add up 87, you know that the following is true:

x² + 87x + 962 = (x + 13 ) (x + 74)
