What two numbers multiply to 28 and add up to 29?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 28 and add up to 29?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 28

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 28 multiply to 28 and add up to 29:

1 × 28 = 28
1 + 28 = 29

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

x² + 29x + 28 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 28)

To summarize, since 1 and 28 multiply to 28 and add up 29, you know that the following is true:

x² + 29x + 28 = (x + 1 ) (x + 28)
