What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 171?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 504 and add up to 171?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 168

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 168 multiply to 504 and add up to 171:

3 × 168 = 504
3 + 168 = 171

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

x² + 171x + 504 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 168)

To summarize, since 3 and 168 multiply to 504 and add up 171, you know that the following is true:

x² + 171x + 504 = (x + 3 ) (x + 168)
