What two numbers multiply to 555 and add up to 188?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 555 and add up to 188?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 185

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 185 multiply to 555 and add up to 188:

3 × 185 = 555
3 + 185 = 188

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

x² + 188x + 555 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 185)

To summarize, since 3 and 185 multiply to 555 and add up 188, you know that the following is true:

x² + 188x + 555 = (x + 3 ) (x + 185)
