What two numbers multiply to 498 and add up to 169?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 498 and add up to 169?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 166

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 166 multiply to 498 and add up to 169:

3 × 166 = 498
3 + 166 = 169

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

x² + 169x + 498 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 166)

To summarize, since 3 and 166 multiply to 498 and add up 169, you know that the following is true:

x² + 169x + 498 = (x + 3 ) (x + 166)
