What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 56?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

14 and 42

Below we illustrate and prove that 14 and 42 multiply to 588 and add up to 56:

14 × 42 = 588
14 + 42 = 56

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

x² + 56x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 14 ) (x + 42)

To summarize, since 14 and 42 multiply to 588 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x² + 56x + 588 = (x + 14 ) (x + 42)
