What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 68?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 68?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 59

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 59 multiply to 531 and add up to 68:

9 × 59 = 531
9 + 59 = 68

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

x² + 68x + 531 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 59)

To summarize, since 9 and 59 multiply to 531 and add up 68, you know that the following is true:

x² + 68x + 531 = (x + 9 ) (x + 59)
