What two numbers multiply to 170 and add up to 39?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 170 and add up to 39?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 34

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 34 multiply to 170 and add up to 39:

5 × 34 = 170
5 + 34 = 39

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

x² + 39x + 170 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 34)

To summarize, since 5 and 34 multiply to 170 and add up 39, you know that the following is true:

x² + 39x + 170 = (x + 5 ) (x + 34)
