What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 151?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 151?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 147

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 147 multiply to 588 and add up to 151:

4 × 147 = 588
4 + 147 = 151

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

x² + 151x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 147)

To summarize, since 4 and 147 multiply to 588 and add up 151, you know that the following is true:

x² + 151x + 588 = (x + 4 ) (x + 147)
