What two numbers multiply to 417 and add up to 418?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 417 and add up to 418?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 417

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 417 multiply to 417 and add up to 418:

1 × 417 = 417
1 + 417 = 418

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

x² + 418x + 417 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 417)

To summarize, since 1 and 417 multiply to 417 and add up 418, you know that the following is true:

x² + 418x + 417 = (x + 1 ) (x + 417)
