What two numbers multiply to 317 and add up to 318?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 317 and add up to 318?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 317

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 317 multiply to 317 and add up to 318:

1 × 317 = 317
1 + 317 = 318

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

x² + 318x + 317 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 317)

To summarize, since 1 and 317 multiply to 317 and add up 318, you know that the following is true:

x² + 318x + 317 = (x + 1 ) (x + 317)
