What two numbers multiply to 858 and add up to 289?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 858 and add up to 289?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 286

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 286 multiply to 858 and add up to 289:

3 × 286 = 858
3 + 286 = 289

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

x² + 289x + 858 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 286)

To summarize, since 3 and 286 multiply to 858 and add up 289, you know that the following is true:

x² + 289x + 858 = (x + 3 ) (x + 286)
