What two numbers multiply to 76 and add up to 77?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 76 and add up to 77?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 76

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 76 multiply to 76 and add up to 77:

1 × 76 = 76
1 + 76 = 77

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

x² + 77x + 76 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 76)

To summarize, since 1 and 76 multiply to 76 and add up 77, you know that the following is true:

x² + 77x + 76 = (x + 1 ) (x + 76)
