What two numbers multiply to 870 and add up to 73?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 870 and add up to 73?"

The answer to your question is:

15 and 58

Below we illustrate and prove that 15 and 58 multiply to 870 and add up to 73:

15 × 58 = 870
15 + 58 = 73

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

x² + 73x + 870 = 0

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

(x + 15 ) (x + 58)

To summarize, since 15 and 58 multiply to 870 and add up 73, you know that the following is true:

x² + 73x + 870 = (x + 15 ) (x + 58)
