What two numbers multiply to 82 and add up to 83?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 82 and add up to 83?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 82

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 82 multiply to 82 and add up to 83:

1 × 82 = 82
1 + 82 = 83

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

x² + 83x + 82 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 82)

To summarize, since 1 and 82 multiply to 82 and add up 83, you know that the following is true:

x² + 83x + 82 = (x + 1 ) (x + 82)
