What two numbers multiply to 985 and add up to 202?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 985 and add up to 202?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 197

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 197 multiply to 985 and add up to 202:

5 × 197 = 985
5 + 197 = 202

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

x² + 202x + 985 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 197)

To summarize, since 5 and 197 multiply to 985 and add up 202, you know that the following is true:

x² + 202x + 985 = (x + 5 ) (x + 197)
