What two numbers multiply to 599 and add up to 600?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 599 and add up to 600?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 599

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 599 multiply to 599 and add up to 600:

1 × 599 = 599
1 + 599 = 600

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

x² + 600x + 599 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 599)

To summarize, since 1 and 599 multiply to 599 and add up 600, you know that the following is true:

x² + 600x + 599 = (x + 1 ) (x + 599)
