What two numbers multiply to 787 and add up to 788?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 787 and add up to 788?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 787

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 787 multiply to 787 and add up to 788:

1 × 787 = 787
1 + 787 = 788

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

x² + 788x + 787 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 787)

To summarize, since 1 and 787 multiply to 787 and add up 788, you know that the following is true:

x² + 788x + 787 = (x + 1 ) (x + 787)
