What two numbers multiply to 25 and add up to 26?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 25 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 25

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 25 multiply to 25 and add up to 26:

1 × 25 = 25
1 + 25 = 26

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

x² + 26x + 25 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 25)

To summarize, since 1 and 25 multiply to 25 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x² + 26x + 25 = (x + 1 ) (x + 25)
