Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 199?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 196

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 196 multiply to 588 and add up to 199:

3 × 196 = 588
3 + 196 = 199

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

x² + 199x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 196)

To summarize, since 3 and 196 multiply to 588 and add up 199, you know that the following is true:

x² + 199x + 588 = (x + 3 ) (x + 196)
