What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 189?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 189?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 186

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 186 multiply to 558 and add up to 189:

3 × 186 = 558
3 + 186 = 189

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

x² + 189x + 558 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 186)

To summarize, since 3 and 186 multiply to 558 and add up 189, you know that the following is true:

x² + 189x + 558 = (x + 3 ) (x + 186)
