What two numbers multiply to 788 and add up to 789?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 788 and add up to 789?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 788

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 788 multiply to 788 and add up to 789:

1 × 788 = 788
1 + 788 = 789

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

x² + 789x + 788 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 788)

To summarize, since 1 and 788 multiply to 788 and add up 789, you know that the following is true:

x² + 789x + 788 = (x + 1 ) (x + 788)
