What two numbers multiply to 291 and add up to 292?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 291 and add up to 292?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 291

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 291 multiply to 291 and add up to 292:

1 × 291 = 291
1 + 291 = 292

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

x² + 292x + 291 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 291)

To summarize, since 1 and 291 multiply to 291 and add up 292, you know that the following is true:

x² + 292x + 291 = (x + 1 ) (x + 291)
