What two numbers multiply to 251 and add up to 252?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 251 and add up to 252?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 251

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 251 multiply to 251 and add up to 252:

1 × 251 = 251
1 + 251 = 252

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

x² + 252x + 251 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 251)

To summarize, since 1 and 251 multiply to 251 and add up 252, you know that the following is true:

x² + 252x + 251 = (x + 1 ) (x + 251)
