What two numbers multiply to 273 and add up to 274?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 273 and add up to 274?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 273

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 273 multiply to 273 and add up to 274:

1 × 273 = 273
1 + 273 = 274

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

x² + 274x + 273 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 273)

To summarize, since 1 and 273 multiply to 273 and add up 274, you know that the following is true:

x² + 274x + 273 = (x + 1 ) (x + 273)
