What two numbers multiply to 857 and add up to 858?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 857 and add up to 858?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 857

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 857 multiply to 857 and add up to 858:

1 × 857 = 857
1 + 857 = 858

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

x² + 858x + 857 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 857)

To summarize, since 1 and 857 multiply to 857 and add up 858, you know that the following is true:

x² + 858x + 857 = (x + 1 ) (x + 857)
