What two numbers multiply to 972 and add up to 93?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 972 and add up to 93?"

The answer to your question is:

12 and 81

Below we illustrate and prove that 12 and 81 multiply to 972 and add up to 93:

12 × 81 = 972
12 + 81 = 93

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

x² + 93x + 972 = 0

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

(x + 12 ) (x + 81)

To summarize, since 12 and 81 multiply to 972 and add up 93, you know that the following is true:

x² + 93x + 972 = (x + 12 ) (x + 81)
