What two numbers multiply to 57 and add up to 58?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 57 and add up to 58?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 57

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 57 multiply to 57 and add up to 58:

1 × 57 = 57
1 + 57 = 58

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

x² + 58x + 57 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 57)

To summarize, since 1 and 57 multiply to 57 and add up 58, you know that the following is true:

x² + 58x + 57 = (x + 1 ) (x + 57)
