What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 64?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 64?"

The answer to your question is:

26 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 26 and 38 multiply to 988 and add up to 64:

26 × 38 = 988
26 + 38 = 64

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

x² + 64x + 988 = 0

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

(x + 26 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 26 and 38 multiply to 988 and add up 64, you know that the following is true:

x² + 64x + 988 = (x + 26 ) (x + 38)
