What two numbers multiply to 258 and add up to 89?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 258 and add up to 89?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 86

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 86 multiply to 258 and add up to 89:

3 × 86 = 258
3 + 86 = 89

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

x² + 89x + 258 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 86)

To summarize, since 3 and 86 multiply to 258 and add up 89, you know that the following is true:

x² + 89x + 258 = (x + 3 ) (x + 86)
