What two numbers multiply to 265 and add up to 58?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 265 and add up to 58?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 53

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 53 multiply to 265 and add up to 58:

5 × 53 = 265
5 + 53 = 58

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

x² + 58x + 265 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 53)

To summarize, since 5 and 53 multiply to 265 and add up 58, you know that the following is true:

x² + 58x + 265 = (x + 5 ) (x + 53)
