What two numbers multiply to 304 and add up to 305?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 304 and add up to 305?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 304

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 304 multiply to 304 and add up to 305:

1 × 304 = 304
1 + 304 = 305

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

x² + 305x + 304 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 304)

To summarize, since 1 and 304 multiply to 304 and add up 305, you know that the following is true:

x² + 305x + 304 = (x + 1 ) (x + 304)
