What two numbers multiply to 548 and add up to 549?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 548 and add up to 549?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 548

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 548 multiply to 548 and add up to 549:

1 × 548 = 548
1 + 548 = 549

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

x² + 549x + 548 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 548)

To summarize, since 1 and 548 multiply to 548 and add up 549, you know that the following is true:

x² + 549x + 548 = (x + 1 ) (x + 548)
