What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 34?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 34?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 28

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 28 multiply to 168 and add up to 34:

6 × 28 = 168
6 + 28 = 34

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

x² + 34x + 168 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 28)

To summarize, since 6 and 28 multiply to 168 and add up 34, you know that the following is true:

x² + 34x + 168 = (x + 6 ) (x + 28)
