What two numbers multiply to 600 and add up to 601?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 600 and add up to 601?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 600

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 600 multiply to 600 and add up to 601:

1 × 600 = 600
1 + 600 = 601

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

x² + 601x + 600 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 600)

To summarize, since 1 and 600 multiply to 600 and add up 601, you know that the following is true:

x² + 601x + 600 = (x + 1 ) (x + 600)
