What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 253?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 252 and add up to 253?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 252

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 252 multiply to 252 and add up to 253:

1 × 252 = 252
1 + 252 = 253

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

x² + 253x + 252 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 252)

To summarize, since 1 and 252 multiply to 252 and add up 253, you know that the following is true:

x² + 253x + 252 = (x + 1 ) (x + 252)
