What two numbers multiply to 490 and add up to 103?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 490 and add up to 103?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 98

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 98 multiply to 490 and add up to 103:

5 × 98 = 490
5 + 98 = 103

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

x² + 103x + 490 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 98)

To summarize, since 5 and 98 multiply to 490 and add up 103, you know that the following is true:

x² + 103x + 490 = (x + 5 ) (x + 98)
