What two numbers multiply to 298 and add up to 299?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 298 and add up to 299?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 298

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 298 multiply to 298 and add up to 299:

1 × 298 = 298
1 + 298 = 299

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

x² + 299x + 298 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 298)

To summarize, since 1 and 298 multiply to 298 and add up 299, you know that the following is true:

x² + 299x + 298 = (x + 1 ) (x + 298)
