What two numbers multiply to 887 and add up to 888?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 887 and add up to 888?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 887

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 887 multiply to 887 and add up to 888:

1 × 887 = 887
1 + 887 = 888

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

x² + 888x + 887 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 887)

To summarize, since 1 and 887 multiply to 887 and add up 888, you know that the following is true:

x² + 888x + 887 = (x + 1 ) (x + 887)
