What two numbers multiply to 534 and add up to 181?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 534 and add up to 181?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 178

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 178 multiply to 534 and add up to 181:

3 × 178 = 534
3 + 178 = 181

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

x² + 181x + 534 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 178)

To summarize, since 3 and 178 multiply to 534 and add up 181, you know that the following is true:

x² + 181x + 534 = (x + 3 ) (x + 178)
