Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 338 and add up to 171?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 169

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 169 multiply to 338 and add up to 171:

2 × 169 = 338
2 + 169 = 171

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

x² + 171x + 338 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 169)

To summarize, since 2 and 169 multiply to 338 and add up 171, you know that the following is true:

x² + 171x + 338 = (x + 2 ) (x + 169)
