What two numbers multiply to 58 and add up to 59?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 58 and add up to 59?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 58

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 58 multiply to 58 and add up to 59:

1 × 58 = 58
1 + 58 = 59

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

x² + 59x + 58 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 58)

To summarize, since 1 and 58 multiply to 58 and add up 59, you know that the following is true:

x² + 59x + 58 = (x + 1 ) (x + 58)
