What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 559?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 558 and add up to 559?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 558

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 558 multiply to 558 and add up to 559:

1 × 558 = 558
1 + 558 = 559

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

x² + 559x + 558 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 558)

To summarize, since 1 and 558 multiply to 558 and add up 559, you know that the following is true:

x² + 559x + 558 = (x + 1 ) (x + 558)
