What two numbers multiply to 586 and add up to 587?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 586 and add up to 587?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 586

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 586 multiply to 586 and add up to 587:

1 × 586 = 586
1 + 586 = 587

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

x² + 587x + 586 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 586)

To summarize, since 1 and 586 multiply to 586 and add up 587, you know that the following is true:

x² + 587x + 586 = (x + 1 ) (x + 586)
