What two numbers multiply to 174 and add up to 89?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 174 and add up to 89?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 87

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 87 multiply to 174 and add up to 89:

2 × 87 = 174
2 + 87 = 89

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

x² + 89x + 174 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 87)

To summarize, since 2 and 87 multiply to 174 and add up 89, you know that the following is true:

x² + 89x + 174 = (x + 2 ) (x + 87)
