What two numbers multiply to 973 and add up to 146?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 973 and add up to 146?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 139

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 139 multiply to 973 and add up to 146:

7 × 139 = 973
7 + 139 = 146

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

x² + 146x + 973 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 139)

To summarize, since 7 and 139 multiply to 973 and add up 146, you know that the following is true:

x² + 146x + 973 = (x + 7 ) (x + 139)
