What two numbers multiply to 265 and add up to 266?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 265 and add up to 266?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 265

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 265 multiply to 265 and add up to 266:

1 × 265 = 265
1 + 265 = 266

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

x² + 266x + 265 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 265)

To summarize, since 1 and 265 multiply to 265 and add up 266, you know that the following is true:

x² + 266x + 265 = (x + 1 ) (x + 265)
