What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 175?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 175?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 172

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 172 multiply to 516 and add up to 175:

3 × 172 = 516
3 + 172 = 175

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

x² + 175x + 516 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 172)

To summarize, since 3 and 172 multiply to 516 and add up 175, you know that the following is true:

x² + 175x + 516 = (x + 3 ) (x + 172)
