What two numbers multiply to 884 and add up to 885?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 884 and add up to 885?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 884

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 884 multiply to 884 and add up to 885:

1 × 884 = 884
1 + 884 = 885

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

x² + 885x + 884 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 884)

To summarize, since 1 and 884 multiply to 884 and add up 885, you know that the following is true:

x² + 885x + 884 = (x + 1 ) (x + 884)
