What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 175?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 175?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 170

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 170 multiply to 850 and add up to 175:

5 × 170 = 850
5 + 170 = 175

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

x² + 175x + 850 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 170)

To summarize, since 5 and 170 multiply to 850 and add up 175, you know that the following is true:

x² + 175x + 850 = (x + 5 ) (x + 170)
