What two numbers multiply to 905 and add up to 186?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 905 and add up to 186?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 181

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 181 multiply to 905 and add up to 186:

5 × 181 = 905
5 + 181 = 186

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

x² + 186x + 905 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 181)

To summarize, since 5 and 181 multiply to 905 and add up 186, you know that the following is true:

x² + 186x + 905 = (x + 5 ) (x + 181)
