What two numbers multiply to 984 and add up to 131?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 984 and add up to 131?"

The answer to your question is:

8 and 123

Below we illustrate and prove that 8 and 123 multiply to 984 and add up to 131:

8 × 123 = 984
8 + 123 = 131

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

x² + 131x + 984 = 0

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

(x + 8 ) (x + 123)

To summarize, since 8 and 123 multiply to 984 and add up 131, you know that the following is true:

x² + 131x + 984 = (x + 8 ) (x + 123)
