What two numbers multiply to 431 and add up to 432?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 431 and add up to 432?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 431

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 431 multiply to 431 and add up to 432:

1 × 431 = 431
1 + 431 = 432

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

x² + 432x + 431 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 431)

To summarize, since 1 and 431 multiply to 431 and add up 432, you know that the following is true:

x² + 432x + 431 = (x + 1 ) (x + 431)
