What two numbers multiply to 837 and add up to 838?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 837 and add up to 838?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 837

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 837 multiply to 837 and add up to 838:

1 × 837 = 837
1 + 837 = 838

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

x² + 838x + 837 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 837)

To summarize, since 1 and 837 multiply to 837 and add up 838, you know that the following is true:

x² + 838x + 837 = (x + 1 ) (x + 837)
