What two numbers multiply to 299 and add up to 300?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 299 and add up to 300?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 299

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 299 multiply to 299 and add up to 300:

1 × 299 = 299
1 + 299 = 300

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

x² + 300x + 299 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 299)

To summarize, since 1 and 299 multiply to 299 and add up 300, you know that the following is true:

x² + 300x + 299 = (x + 1 ) (x + 299)
