What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 187?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 187?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 184

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 184 multiply to 552 and add up to 187:

3 × 184 = 552
3 + 184 = 187

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

x² + 187x + 552 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 184)

To summarize, since 3 and 184 multiply to 552 and add up 187, you know that the following is true:

x² + 187x + 552 = (x + 3 ) (x + 184)
