What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 289?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 288 and add up to 289?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 288

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 288 multiply to 288 and add up to 289:

1 × 288 = 288
1 + 288 = 289

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

x² + 289x + 288 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 288)

To summarize, since 1 and 288 multiply to 288 and add up 289, you know that the following is true:

x² + 289x + 288 = (x + 1 ) (x + 288)
