What two numbers multiply to 74 and add up to 75?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 74 and add up to 75?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 74

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 74 multiply to 74 and add up to 75:

1 × 74 = 74
1 + 74 = 75

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

x² + 75x + 74 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 74)

To summarize, since 1 and 74 multiply to 74 and add up 75, you know that the following is true:

x² + 75x + 74 = (x + 1 ) (x + 74)
