What two numbers multiply to 856 and add up to 857?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 856 and add up to 857?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 856

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 856 multiply to 856 and add up to 857:

1 × 856 = 856
1 + 856 = 857

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

x² + 857x + 856 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 856)

To summarize, since 1 and 856 multiply to 856 and add up 857, you know that the following is true:

x² + 857x + 856 = (x + 1 ) (x + 856)
