What two numbers multiply to 541 and add up to 542?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 541 and add up to 542?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 541

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 541 multiply to 541 and add up to 542:

1 × 541 = 541
1 + 541 = 542

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

x² + 542x + 541 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 541)

To summarize, since 1 and 541 multiply to 541 and add up 542, you know that the following is true:

x² + 542x + 541 = (x + 1 ) (x + 541)
