What two numbers multiply to 445 and add up to 446?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 445 and add up to 446?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 445

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 445 multiply to 445 and add up to 446:

1 × 445 = 445
1 + 445 = 446

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

x² + 446x + 445 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 445)

To summarize, since 1 and 445 multiply to 445 and add up 446, you know that the following is true:

x² + 446x + 445 = (x + 1 ) (x + 445)
