What two numbers multiply to 170 and add up to 27?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 170 and add up to 27?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 17

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 17 multiply to 170 and add up to 27:

10 × 17 = 170
10 + 17 = 27

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

x² + 27x + 170 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 17)

To summarize, since 10 and 17 multiply to 170 and add up 27, you know that the following is true:

x² + 27x + 170 = (x + 10 ) (x + 17)
