What two numbers multiply to 554 and add up to 555?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 554 and add up to 555?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 554

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 554 multiply to 554 and add up to 555:

1 × 554 = 554
1 + 554 = 555

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

x² + 555x + 554 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 554)

To summarize, since 1 and 554 multiply to 554 and add up 555, you know that the following is true:

x² + 555x + 554 = (x + 1 ) (x + 554)
