What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 553?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 552 and add up to 553?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 552

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 552 multiply to 552 and add up to 553:

1 × 552 = 552
1 + 552 = 553

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

x² + 553x + 552 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 552)

To summarize, since 1 and 552 multiply to 552 and add up 553, you know that the following is true:

x² + 553x + 552 = (x + 1 ) (x + 552)
