What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 49?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 49?"

The answer to your question is:

21 and 28

Below we illustrate and prove that 21 and 28 multiply to 588 and add up to 49:

21 × 28 = 588
21 + 28 = 49

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

x² + 49x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 21 ) (x + 28)

To summarize, since 21 and 28 multiply to 588 and add up 49, you know that the following is true:

x² + 49x + 588 = (x + 21 ) (x + 28)
