What two numbers multiply to 992 and add up to 78?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 992 and add up to 78?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 62

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 62 multiply to 992 and add up to 78:

16 × 62 = 992
16 + 62 = 78

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

x² + 78x + 992 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 62)

To summarize, since 16 and 62 multiply to 992 and add up 78, you know that the following is true:

x² + 78x + 992 = (x + 16 ) (x + 62)
