What two numbers multiply to 870 and add up to 293?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 870 and add up to 293?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 290

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 290 multiply to 870 and add up to 293:

3 × 290 = 870
3 + 290 = 293

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

x² + 293x + 870 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 290)

To summarize, since 3 and 290 multiply to 870 and add up 293, you know that the following is true:

x² + 293x + 870 = (x + 3 ) (x + 290)
