What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 104?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 104?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 98

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 98 multiply to 588 and add up to 104:

6 × 98 = 588
6 + 98 = 104

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

x² + 104x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 6 ) (x + 98)

To summarize, since 6 and 98 multiply to 588 and add up 104, you know that the following is true:

x² + 104x + 588 = (x + 6 ) (x + 98)
