What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 59?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 168 and add up to 59?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 56

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 56 multiply to 168 and add up to 59:

3 × 56 = 168
3 + 56 = 59

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

x² + 59x + 168 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 56)

To summarize, since 3 and 56 multiply to 168 and add up 59, you know that the following is true:

x² + 59x + 168 = (x + 3 ) (x + 56)
