What two numbers multiply to 189 and add up to 66?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 189 and add up to 66?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 63

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 63 multiply to 189 and add up to 66:

3 × 63 = 189
3 + 63 = 66

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

x² + 66x + 189 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 63)

To summarize, since 3 and 63 multiply to 189 and add up 66, you know that the following is true:

x² + 66x + 189 = (x + 3 ) (x + 63)
