What two numbers multiply to 250 and add up to 251?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 250 and add up to 251?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 250

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 250 multiply to 250 and add up to 251:

1 × 250 = 250
1 + 250 = 251

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

x² + 251x + 250 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 250)

To summarize, since 1 and 250 multiply to 250 and add up 251, you know that the following is true:

x² + 251x + 250 = (x + 1 ) (x + 250)
