What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 167?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 167?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 164

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 164 multiply to 492 and add up to 167:

3 × 164 = 492
3 + 164 = 167

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

x² + 167x + 492 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 164)

To summarize, since 3 and 164 multiply to 492 and add up 167, you know that the following is true:

x² + 167x + 492 = (x + 3 ) (x + 164)
