What two numbers multiply to 860 and add up to 177?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 860 and add up to 177?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 172

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 172 multiply to 860 and add up to 177:

5 × 172 = 860
5 + 172 = 177

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

x² + 177x + 860 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 172)

To summarize, since 5 and 172 multiply to 860 and add up 177, you know that the following is true:

x² + 177x + 860 = (x + 5 ) (x + 172)
