What two numbers multiply to 514 and add up to 515?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 514 and add up to 515?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 514

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 514 multiply to 514 and add up to 515:

1 × 514 = 514
1 + 514 = 515

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

x² + 515x + 514 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 514)

To summarize, since 1 and 514 multiply to 514 and add up 515, you know that the following is true:

x² + 515x + 514 = (x + 1 ) (x + 514)
