What two numbers multiply to 987 and add up to 148?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 987 and add up to 148?"

The answer to your question is:

7 and 141

Below we illustrate and prove that 7 and 141 multiply to 987 and add up to 148:

7 × 141 = 987
7 + 141 = 148

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

x² + 148x + 987 = 0

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

(x + 7 ) (x + 141)

To summarize, since 7 and 141 multiply to 987 and add up 148, you know that the following is true:

x² + 148x + 987 = (x + 7 ) (x + 141)
