What two numbers multiply to 785 and add up to 162?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 785 and add up to 162?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 157

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 157 multiply to 785 and add up to 162:

5 × 157 = 785
5 + 157 = 162

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

x² + 162x + 785 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 157)

To summarize, since 5 and 157 multiply to 785 and add up 162, you know that the following is true:

x² + 162x + 785 = (x + 5 ) (x + 157)
