What two numbers multiply to 112 and add up to 58?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 112 and add up to 58?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 56

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 56 multiply to 112 and add up to 58:

2 × 56 = 112
2 + 56 = 58

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

x² + 58x + 112 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 56)

To summarize, since 2 and 56 multiply to 112 and add up 58, you know that the following is true:

x² + 58x + 112 = (x + 2 ) (x + 56)
