What two numbers multiply to 549 and add up to 550?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 549 and add up to 550?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 549

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 549 multiply to 549 and add up to 550:

1 × 549 = 549
1 + 549 = 550

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

x² + 550x + 549 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 549)

To summarize, since 1 and 549 multiply to 549 and add up 550, you know that the following is true:

x² + 550x + 549 = (x + 1 ) (x + 549)
