What two numbers multiply to 786 and add up to 787?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 786 and add up to 787?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 786

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 786 multiply to 786 and add up to 787:

1 × 786 = 786
1 + 786 = 787

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

x² + 787x + 786 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 786)

To summarize, since 1 and 786 multiply to 786 and add up 787, you know that the following is true:

x² + 787x + 786 = (x + 1 ) (x + 786)
