What two numbers multiply to 247 and add up to 248?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 247 and add up to 248?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 247

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 247 multiply to 247 and add up to 248:

1 × 247 = 247
1 + 247 = 248

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

x² + 248x + 247 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 247)

To summarize, since 1 and 247 multiply to 247 and add up 248, you know that the following is true:

x² + 248x + 247 = (x + 1 ) (x + 247)
