What two numbers multiply to 742 and add up to 743?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 742 and add up to 743?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 742

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 742 multiply to 742 and add up to 743:

1 × 742 = 742
1 + 742 = 743

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

x² + 743x + 742 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 742)

To summarize, since 1 and 742 multiply to 742 and add up 743, you know that the following is true:

x² + 743x + 742 = (x + 1 ) (x + 742)
