Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 798 and add up to 799?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 798

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 798 multiply to 798 and add up to 799:

1 × 798 = 798
1 + 798 = 799

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

x² + 799x + 798 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 798)

To summarize, since 1 and 798 multiply to 798 and add up 799, you know that the following is true:

x² + 799x + 798 = (x + 1 ) (x + 798)
