What two numbers multiply to 277 and add up to 278?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 277 and add up to 278?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 277

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 277 multiply to 277 and add up to 278:

1 × 277 = 277
1 + 277 = 278

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

x² + 278x + 277 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 277)

To summarize, since 1 and 277 multiply to 277 and add up 278, you know that the following is true:

x² + 278x + 277 = (x + 1 ) (x + 277)
