What two numbers multiply to 801 and add up to 98?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 801 and add up to 98?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 89

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 89 multiply to 801 and add up to 98:

9 × 89 = 801
9 + 89 = 98

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

x² + 98x + 801 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 89)

To summarize, since 9 and 89 multiply to 801 and add up 98, you know that the following is true:

x² + 98x + 801 = (x + 9 ) (x + 89)
