What two numbers multiply to 555 and add up to 116?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 555 and add up to 116?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 111

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 111 multiply to 555 and add up to 116:

5 × 111 = 555
5 + 111 = 116

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

x² + 116x + 555 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 111)

To summarize, since 5 and 111 multiply to 555 and add up 116, you know that the following is true:

x² + 116x + 555 = (x + 5 ) (x + 111)
