What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 283?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 282 and add up to 283?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 282

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 282 multiply to 282 and add up to 283:

1 × 282 = 282
1 + 282 = 283

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

x² + 283x + 282 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 282)

To summarize, since 1 and 282 multiply to 282 and add up 283, you know that the following is true:

x² + 283x + 282 = (x + 1 ) (x + 282)
