What two numbers multiply to 505 and add up to 106?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 505 and add up to 106?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 101

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 101 multiply to 505 and add up to 106:

5 × 101 = 505
5 + 101 = 106

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

x² + 106x + 505 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 101)

To summarize, since 5 and 101 multiply to 505 and add up 106, you know that the following is true:

x² + 106x + 505 = (x + 5 ) (x + 101)
