What two numbers multiply to 281 and add up to 282?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 281 and add up to 282?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 281

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 281 multiply to 281 and add up to 282:

1 × 281 = 281
1 + 281 = 282

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

x² + 282x + 281 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 281)

To summarize, since 1 and 281 multiply to 281 and add up 282, you know that the following is true:

x² + 282x + 281 = (x + 1 ) (x + 281)
