What two numbers multiply to 676 and add up to 173?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 676 and add up to 173?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 169

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 169 multiply to 676 and add up to 173:

4 × 169 = 676
4 + 169 = 173

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

x² + 173x + 676 = 0

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

(x + 4 ) (x + 169)

To summarize, since 4 and 169 multiply to 676 and add up 173, you know that the following is true:

x² + 173x + 676 = (x + 4 ) (x + 169)
