What two numbers multiply to 886 and add up to 887?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 886 and add up to 887?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 886

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 886 multiply to 886 and add up to 887:

1 × 886 = 886
1 + 886 = 887

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

x² + 887x + 886 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 886)

To summarize, since 1 and 886 multiply to 886 and add up 887, you know that the following is true:

x² + 887x + 886 = (x + 1 ) (x + 886)
