What two numbers multiply to 503 and add up to 504?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 503 and add up to 504?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 503

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 503 multiply to 503 and add up to 504:

1 × 503 = 503
1 + 503 = 504

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

x² + 504x + 503 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 503)

To summarize, since 1 and 503 multiply to 503 and add up 504, you know that the following is true:

x² + 504x + 503 = (x + 1 ) (x + 503)
