What two numbers multiply to 539 and add up to 540?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 539 and add up to 540?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 539

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 539 multiply to 539 and add up to 540:

1 × 539 = 539
1 + 539 = 540

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

x² + 540x + 539 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 539)

To summarize, since 1 and 539 multiply to 539 and add up 540, you know that the following is true:

x² + 540x + 539 = (x + 1 ) (x + 539)
