What two numbers multiply to 271 and add up to 272?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 271 and add up to 272?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 271

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 271 multiply to 271 and add up to 272:

1 × 271 = 271
1 + 271 = 272

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

x² + 272x + 271 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 271)

To summarize, since 1 and 271 multiply to 271 and add up 272, you know that the following is true:

x² + 272x + 271 = (x + 1 ) (x + 271)
