What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 71?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 71?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 62

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 62 multiply to 558 and add up to 71:

9 × 62 = 558
9 + 62 = 71

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

x² + 71x + 558 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 62)

To summarize, since 9 and 62 multiply to 558 and add up 71, you know that the following is true:

x² + 71x + 558 = (x + 9 ) (x + 62)
