What two numbers multiply to 854 and add up to 855?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 854 and add up to 855?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 854

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 854 multiply to 854 and add up to 855:

1 × 854 = 854
1 + 854 = 855

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

x² + 855x + 854 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 854)

To summarize, since 1 and 854 multiply to 854 and add up 855, you know that the following is true:

x² + 855x + 854 = (x + 1 ) (x + 854)
