What two numbers multiply to 918 and add up to 71?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 918 and add up to 71?"

The answer to your question is:

17 and 54

Below we illustrate and prove that 17 and 54 multiply to 918 and add up to 71:

17 × 54 = 918
17 + 54 = 71

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

x² + 71x + 918 = 0

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

(x + 17 ) (x + 54)

To summarize, since 17 and 54 multiply to 918 and add up 71, you know that the following is true:

x² + 71x + 918 = (x + 17 ) (x + 54)
