What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 89?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 89?"

The answer to your question is:

13 and 76

Below we illustrate and prove that 13 and 76 multiply to 988 and add up to 89:

13 × 76 = 988
13 + 76 = 89

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

x² + 89x + 988 = 0

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

(x + 13 ) (x + 76)

To summarize, since 13 and 76 multiply to 988 and add up 89, you know that the following is true:

x² + 89x + 988 = (x + 13 ) (x + 76)
