What two numbers multiply to 551 and add up to 552?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 551 and add up to 552?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 551

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 551 multiply to 551 and add up to 552:

1 × 551 = 551
1 + 551 = 552

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

x² + 552x + 551 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 551)

To summarize, since 1 and 551 multiply to 551 and add up 552, you know that the following is true:

x² + 552x + 551 = (x + 1 ) (x + 551)
