Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 246 and add up to 85?"
The answer to your question is:
3 and 82
Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 82 multiply to 246 and add up to 85:
3 × 82 = 246
3 + 82 = 85
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 85x + 246 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x + 3 ) (x + 82)
To summarize, since 3 and 82 multiply to 246 and add up 85, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 85x + 246 = (x + 3 ) (x + 82)
