What two numbers multiply to 859 and add up to 860?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 859 and add up to 860?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 859

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 859 multiply to 859 and add up to 860:

1 × 859 = 859
1 + 859 = 860

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

x² + 860x + 859 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 859)

To summarize, since 1 and 859 multiply to 859 and add up 860, you know that the following is true:

x² + 860x + 859 = (x + 1 ) (x + 859)
