What two numbers multiply to 972 and add up to 168?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 972 and add up to 168?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 162

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 162 multiply to 972 and add up to 168:

6 × 162 = 972
6 + 162 = 168

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

x² + 168x + 972 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 162)

To summarize, since 6 and 162 multiply to 972 and add up 168, you know that the following is true:

x² + 168x + 972 = (x + 6 ) (x + 162)
