What two numbers multiply to 524 and add up to 525?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 524 and add up to 525?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 524

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 524 multiply to 524 and add up to 525:

1 × 524 = 524
1 + 524 = 525

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

x² + 525x + 524 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 524)

To summarize, since 1 and 524 multiply to 524 and add up 525, you know that the following is true:

x² + 525x + 524 = (x + 1 ) (x + 524)
