Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 596 and add up to 597?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 596

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 596 multiply to 596 and add up to 597:

1 × 596 = 596
1 + 596 = 597

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

x² + 597x + 596 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 596)

To summarize, since 1 and 596 multiply to 596 and add up 597, you know that the following is true:

x² + 597x + 596 = (x + 1 ) (x + 596)
