What two numbers multiply to 968 and add up to 246?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 968 and add up to 246?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 242

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 242 multiply to 968 and add up to 246:

4 × 242 = 968
4 + 242 = 246

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

x² + 246x + 968 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 242)

To summarize, since 4 and 242 multiply to 968 and add up 246, you know that the following is true:

x² + 246x + 968 = (x + 4 ) (x + 242)
