What two numbers multiply to 501 and add up to 170?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 501 and add up to 170?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 167

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 167 multiply to 501 and add up to 170:

3 × 167 = 501
3 + 167 = 170

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

x² + 170x + 501 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 167)

To summarize, since 3 and 167 multiply to 501 and add up 170, you know that the following is true:

x² + 170x + 501 = (x + 3 ) (x + 167)
