What two numbers multiply to 536 and add up to 537?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 536 and add up to 537?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 536

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 536 multiply to 536 and add up to 537:

1 × 536 = 536
1 + 536 = 537

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

x² + 537x + 536 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 536)

To summarize, since 1 and 536 multiply to 536 and add up 537, you know that the following is true:

x² + 537x + 536 = (x + 1 ) (x + 536)
