What two numbers multiply to 525 and add up to 178?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 525 and add up to 178?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 175

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 175 multiply to 525 and add up to 178:

3 × 175 = 525
3 + 175 = 178

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

x² + 178x + 525 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 175)

To summarize, since 3 and 175 multiply to 525 and add up 178, you know that the following is true:

x² + 178x + 525 = (x + 3 ) (x + 175)
