What two numbers multiply to 590 and add up to 123?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 590 and add up to 123?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 118

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 118 multiply to 590 and add up to 123:

5 × 118 = 590
5 + 118 = 123

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

x² + 123x + 590 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 118)

To summarize, since 5 and 118 multiply to 590 and add up 123, you know that the following is true:

x² + 123x + 590 = (x + 5 ) (x + 118)
