What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 589?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 588 and add up to 589?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 588

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 588 multiply to 588 and add up to 589:

1 × 588 = 588
1 + 588 = 589

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

x² + 589x + 588 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 588)

To summarize, since 1 and 588 multiply to 588 and add up 589, you know that the following is true:

x² + 589x + 588 = (x + 1 ) (x + 588)
