What two numbers multiply to 597 and add up to 202?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 597 and add up to 202?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 199

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 199 multiply to 597 and add up to 202:

3 × 199 = 597
3 + 199 = 202

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

x² + 202x + 597 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 199)

To summarize, since 3 and 199 multiply to 597 and add up 202, you know that the following is true:

x² + 202x + 597 = (x + 3 ) (x + 199)
