What two numbers multiply to 545 and add up to 546?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 545 and add up to 546?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 545

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 545 multiply to 545 and add up to 546:

1 × 545 = 545
1 + 545 = 546

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

x² + 546x + 545 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 545)

To summarize, since 1 and 545 multiply to 545 and add up 546, you know that the following is true:

x² + 546x + 545 = (x + 1 ) (x + 545)
