What two numbers multiply to 296 and add up to 297?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 296 and add up to 297?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 296

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 296 multiply to 296 and add up to 297:

1 × 296 = 296
1 + 296 = 297

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

x² + 297x + 296 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 296)

To summarize, since 1 and 296 multiply to 296 and add up 297, you know that the following is true:

x² + 297x + 296 = (x + 1 ) (x + 296)
