What two numbers multiply to 389 and add up to 390?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 389 and add up to 390?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 389

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 389 multiply to 389 and add up to 390:

1 × 389 = 389
1 + 389 = 390

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

x² + 390x + 389 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 389)

To summarize, since 1 and 389 multiply to 389 and add up 390, you know that the following is true:

x² + 390x + 389 = (x + 1 ) (x + 389)
