What two numbers multiply to 498 and add up to 89?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 498 and add up to 89?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 83

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 83 multiply to 498 and add up to 89:

6 × 83 = 498
6 + 83 = 89

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

x² + 89x + 498 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 83)

To summarize, since 6 and 83 multiply to 498 and add up 89, you know that the following is true:

x² + 89x + 498 = (x + 6 ) (x + 83)
