What two numbers multiply to 43 and add up to 44?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 43 and add up to 44?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 43

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 43 multiply to 43 and add up to 44:

1 × 43 = 43
1 + 43 = 44

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

x² + 44x + 43 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 43)

To summarize, since 1 and 43 multiply to 43 and add up 44, you know that the following is true:

x² + 44x + 43 = (x + 1 ) (x + 43)
