What two numbers multiply to 537 and add up to 538?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 537 and add up to 538?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 537

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 537 multiply to 537 and add up to 538:

1 × 537 = 537
1 + 537 = 538

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

x² + 538x + 537 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 537)

To summarize, since 1 and 537 multiply to 537 and add up 538, you know that the following is true:

x² + 538x + 537 = (x + 1 ) (x + 537)
