What two numbers multiply to 885 and add up to 74?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 885 and add up to 74?"

The answer to your question is:

15 and 59

Below we illustrate and prove that 15 and 59 multiply to 885 and add up to 74:

15 × 59 = 885
15 + 59 = 74

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

x² + 74x + 885 = 0

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

(x + 15 ) (x + 59)

To summarize, since 15 and 59 multiply to 885 and add up 74, you know that the following is true:

x² + 74x + 885 = (x + 15 ) (x + 59)
