What two numbers multiply to 553 and add up to 554?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 553 and add up to 554?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 553

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 553 multiply to 553 and add up to 554:

1 × 553 = 553
1 + 553 = 554

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

x² + 554x + 553 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 553)

To summarize, since 1 and 553 multiply to 553 and add up 554, you know that the following is true:

x² + 554x + 553 = (x + 1 ) (x + 553)
