What two numbers multiply to 264 and add up to 265?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 264 and add up to 265?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 264

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 264 multiply to 264 and add up to 265:

1 × 264 = 264
1 + 264 = 265

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

x² + 265x + 264 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 264)

To summarize, since 1 and 264 multiply to 264 and add up 265, you know that the following is true:

x² + 265x + 264 = (x + 1 ) (x + 264)
