What two numbers multiply to 297 and add up to 298?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 297 and add up to 298?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 297

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 297 multiply to 297 and add up to 298:

1 × 297 = 297
1 + 297 = 298

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

x² + 298x + 297 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 297)

To summarize, since 1 and 297 multiply to 297 and add up 298, you know that the following is true:

x² + 298x + 297 = (x + 1 ) (x + 297)
