What two numbers multiply to 885 and add up to 886?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 885 and add up to 886?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 885

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 885 multiply to 885 and add up to 886:

1 × 885 = 885
1 + 885 = 886

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

x² + 886x + 885 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 885)

To summarize, since 1 and 885 multiply to 885 and add up 886, you know that the following is true:

x² + 886x + 885 = (x + 1 ) (x + 885)
