Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 598 and add up to 599?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 598

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 598 multiply to 598 and add up to 599:

1 × 598 = 598
1 + 598 = 599

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

x² + 599x + 598 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 598)

To summarize, since 1 and 598 multiply to 598 and add up 599, you know that the following is true:

x² + 599x + 598 = (x + 1 ) (x + 598)
