What two numbers multiply to 658 and add up to 659?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 658 and add up to 659?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 658

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 658 multiply to 658 and add up to 659:

1 × 658 = 658
1 + 658 = 659

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

x² + 659x + 658 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 658)

To summarize, since 1 and 658 multiply to 658 and add up 659, you know that the following is true:

x² + 659x + 658 = (x + 1 ) (x + 658)
