What two numbers multiply to 873 and add up to 874?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 873 and add up to 874?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 873

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 873 multiply to 873 and add up to 874:

1 × 873 = 873
1 + 873 = 874

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

x² + 874x + 873 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 873)

To summarize, since 1 and 873 multiply to 873 and add up 874, you know that the following is true:

x² + 874x + 873 = (x + 1 ) (x + 873)
