What two numbers multiply to 872 and add up to 873?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 872 and add up to 873?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 872

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 872 multiply to 872 and add up to 873:

1 × 872 = 872
1 + 872 = 873

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

x² + 873x + 872 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 872)

To summarize, since 1 and 872 multiply to 872 and add up 873, you know that the following is true:

x² + 873x + 872 = (x + 1 ) (x + 872)
