Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 658 and add up to 331?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 329

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 329 multiply to 658 and add up to 331:

2 × 329 = 658
2 + 329 = 331

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

x² + 331x + 658 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 329)

To summarize, since 2 and 329 multiply to 658 and add up 331, you know that the following is true:

x² + 331x + 658 = (x + 2 ) (x + 329)
