What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 851?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 850 and add up to 851?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 850

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 850 multiply to 850 and add up to 851:

1 × 850 = 850
1 + 850 = 851

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

x² + 851x + 850 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 850)

To summarize, since 1 and 850 multiply to 850 and add up 851, you know that the following is true:

x² + 851x + 850 = (x + 1 ) (x + 850)
