What two numbers multiply to 465 and add up to 158?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 465 and add up to 158?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 155

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 155 multiply to 465 and add up to 158:

3 × 155 = 465
3 + 155 = 158

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

x² + 158x + 465 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 155)

To summarize, since 3 and 155 multiply to 465 and add up 158, you know that the following is true:

x² + 158x + 465 = (x + 3 ) (x + 155)
