What two numbers multiply to 596 and add up to 300?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 596 and add up to 300?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 298

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 298 multiply to 596 and add up to 300:

2 × 298 = 596
2 + 298 = 300

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

x² + 300x + 596 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 298)

To summarize, since 2 and 298 multiply to 596 and add up 300, you know that the following is true:

x² + 300x + 596 = (x + 2 ) (x + 298)
