What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 180?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 180?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 177

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 177 multiply to 531 and add up to 180:

3 × 177 = 531
3 + 177 = 180

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

x² + 180x + 531 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 177)

To summarize, since 3 and 177 multiply to 531 and add up 180, you know that the following is true:

x² + 180x + 531 = (x + 3 ) (x + 177)
