What two numbers multiply to 797 and add up to 798?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 797 and add up to 798?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 797

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 797 multiply to 797 and add up to 798:

1 × 797 = 797
1 + 797 = 798

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

x² + 798x + 797 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 797)

To summarize, since 1 and 797 multiply to 797 and add up 798, you know that the following is true:

x² + 798x + 797 = (x + 1 ) (x + 797)
