What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 45?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 44

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 44 multiply to 44 and add up to 45:

1 × 44 = 44
1 + 44 = 45

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

x² + 45x + 44 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 44)

To summarize, since 1 and 44 multiply to 44 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x² + 45x + 44 = (x + 1 ) (x + 44)
