Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 885 and add up to 298?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 295

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 295 multiply to 885 and add up to 298:

3 × 295 = 885
3 + 295 = 298

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

x² + 298x + 885 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 295)

To summarize, since 3 and 295 multiply to 885 and add up 298, you know that the following is true:

x² + 298x + 885 = (x + 3 ) (x + 295)
