What two numbers multiply to 58 and add up to 31?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 58 and add up to 31?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 29

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 29 multiply to 58 and add up to 31:

2 × 29 = 58
2 + 29 = 31

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

x² + 31x + 58 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 29)

To summarize, since 2 and 29 multiply to 58 and add up 31, you know that the following is true:

x² + 31x + 58 = (x + 2 ) (x + 29)
