What two numbers multiply to 976 and add up to 77?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 976 and add up to 77?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 61

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 61 multiply to 976 and add up to 77:

16 × 61 = 976
16 + 61 = 77

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

x² + 77x + 976 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 61)

To summarize, since 16 and 61 multiply to 976 and add up 77, you know that the following is true:

x² + 77x + 976 = (x + 16 ) (x + 61)
