What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 161?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 161?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 158

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 158 multiply to 474 and add up to 161:

3 × 158 = 474
3 + 158 = 161

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

x² + 161x + 474 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 158)

To summarize, since 3 and 158 multiply to 474 and add up 161, you know that the following is true:

x² + 161x + 474 = (x + 3 ) (x + 158)
