What two numbers multiply to 559 and add up to 560?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 559 and add up to 560?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 559

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 559 multiply to 559 and add up to 560:

1 × 559 = 559
1 + 559 = 560

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

x² + 560x + 559 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 559)

To summarize, since 1 and 559 multiply to 559 and add up 560, you know that the following is true:

x² + 560x + 559 = (x + 1 ) (x + 559)
