What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 260?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 260?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 258

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 258 multiply to 516 and add up to 260:

2 × 258 = 516
2 + 258 = 260

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

x² + 260x + 516 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 258)

To summarize, since 2 and 258 multiply to 516 and add up 260, you know that the following is true:

x² + 260x + 516 = (x + 2 ) (x + 258)
