What two numbers multiply to 688 and add up to 59?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 688 and add up to 59?"

The answer to your question is:

16 and 43

Below we illustrate and prove that 16 and 43 multiply to 688 and add up to 59:

16 × 43 = 688
16 + 43 = 59

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

x² + 59x + 688 = 0

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

(x + 16 ) (x + 43)

To summarize, since 16 and 43 multiply to 688 and add up 59, you know that the following is true:

x² + 59x + 688 = (x + 16 ) (x + 43)
