What two numbers multiply to 262 and add up to 263?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 262 and add up to 263?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 262

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 262 multiply to 262 and add up to 263:

1 × 262 = 262
1 + 262 = 263

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

x² + 263x + 262 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 262)

To summarize, since 1 and 262 multiply to 262 and add up 263, you know that the following is true:

x² + 263x + 262 = (x + 1 ) (x + 262)
