What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 517?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 516 and add up to 517?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 516

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 516 multiply to 516 and add up to 517:

1 × 516 = 516
1 + 516 = 517

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

x² + 517x + 516 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 516)

To summarize, since 1 and 516 multiply to 516 and add up 517, you know that the following is true:

x² + 517x + 516 = (x + 1 ) (x + 516)
