What two numbers multiply to 799 and add up to 800?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 799 and add up to 800?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 799

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 799 multiply to 799 and add up to 800:

1 × 799 = 799
1 + 799 = 800

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

x² + 800x + 799 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 799)

To summarize, since 1 and 799 multiply to 799 and add up 800, you know that the following is true:

x² + 800x + 799 = (x + 1 ) (x + 799)
