What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 168?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 168?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 165

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 165 multiply to 495 and add up to 168:

3 × 165 = 495
3 + 165 = 168

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

x² + 168x + 495 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 165)

To summarize, since 3 and 165 multiply to 495 and add up 168, you know that the following is true:

x² + 168x + 495 = (x + 3 ) (x + 165)
