What two numbers multiply to 656 and add up to 57?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 656 and add up to 57?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 41

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 41 multiply to 656 and add up to 57:

16 × 41 = 656
16 + 41 = 57

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

x² + 57x + 656 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 41)

To summarize, since 16 and 41 multiply to 656 and add up 57, you know that the following is true:

x² + 57x + 656 = (x + 16 ) (x + 41)
