What two numbers multiply to 165 and add up to 58?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 165 and add up to 58?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 55

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 55 multiply to 165 and add up to 58:

3 × 55 = 165
3 + 55 = 58

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

x² + 58x + 165 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 55)

To summarize, since 3 and 55 multiply to 165 and add up 58, you know that the following is true:

x² + 58x + 165 = (x + 3 ) (x + 55)
