( x − p 1 ) ( x − p 2 ) = x 2 − p 1 x − p 2 x + p 1 p 2 = x 2 − ( p 1 + p 2 ) x + p 1 p 2 (where p 1 and p 2 are the two prime zeros of the function)
So we know that p 1 + p 2 = 6 3 , and p 1 p 2 = k . Because 6 3 is odd, the only two primes that can add together to get 6 3 are 2 and 6 1 . The product of these two primes is 2 × 6 1 = 1 2 2 .
