What two numbers multiply to 838 and add up to 839?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 838 and add up to 839?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 838

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 838 multiply to 838 and add up to 839:

1 × 838 = 838
1 + 838 = 839

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

x² + 839x + 838 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 838)

To summarize, since 1 and 838 multiply to 838 and add up 839, you know that the following is true:

x² + 839x + 838 = (x + 1 ) (x + 838)
