What two numbers multiply to 617 and add up to 618?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 617 and add up to 618?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 617

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 617 multiply to 617 and add up to 618:

1 × 617 = 617
1 + 617 = 618

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

x² + 618x + 617 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 617)

To summarize, since 1 and 617 multiply to 617 and add up 618, you know that the following is true:

x² + 618x + 617 = (x + 1 ) (x + 617)
