What two numbers multiply to 388 and add up to 389?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 388 and add up to 389?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 388

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 388 multiply to 388 and add up to 389:

1 × 388 = 388
1 + 388 = 389

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

x² + 389x + 388 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 388)

To summarize, since 1 and 388 multiply to 388 and add up 389, you know that the following is true:

x² + 389x + 388 = (x + 1 ) (x + 388)
