What two numbers multiply to 538 and add up to 539?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 538 and add up to 539?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 538

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 538 multiply to 538 and add up to 539:

1 × 538 = 538
1 + 538 = 539

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

x² + 539x + 538 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 538)

To summarize, since 1 and 538 multiply to 538 and add up 539, you know that the following is true:

x² + 539x + 538 = (x + 1 ) (x + 538)
