What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 98?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 285 and add up to 98?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 95

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 95 multiply to 285 and add up to 98:

3 × 95 = 285
3 + 95 = 98

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

x² + 98x + 285 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 95)

To summarize, since 3 and 95 multiply to 285 and add up 98, you know that the following is true:

x² + 98x + 285 = (x + 3 ) (x + 95)
