What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 532?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 531 and add up to 532?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 531

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 531 multiply to 531 and add up to 532:

1 × 531 = 531
1 + 531 = 532

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

x² + 532x + 531 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 531)

To summarize, since 1 and 531 multiply to 531 and add up 532, you know that the following is true:

x² + 532x + 531 = (x + 1 ) (x + 531)
