What two numbers multiply to 300 and add up to 301?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 300 and add up to 301?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 300

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 300 multiply to 300 and add up to 301:

1 × 300 = 300
1 + 300 = 301

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

x² + 301x + 300 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 300)

To summarize, since 1 and 300 multiply to 300 and add up 301, you know that the following is true:

x² + 301x + 300 = (x + 1 ) (x + 300)
