What two numbers multiply to 248 and add up to 249?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 248 and add up to 249?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 248

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 248 multiply to 248 and add up to 249:

1 × 248 = 248
1 + 248 = 249

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

x² + 249x + 248 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 248)

To summarize, since 1 and 248 multiply to 248 and add up 249, you know that the following is true:

x² + 249x + 248 = (x + 1 ) (x + 248)
