What two numbers multiply to 888 and add up to 889?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 888 and add up to 889?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 888

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 888 multiply to 888 and add up to 889:

1 × 888 = 888
1 + 888 = 889

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

x² + 889x + 888 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 888)

To summarize, since 1 and 888 multiply to 888 and add up 889, you know that the following is true:

x² + 889x + 888 = (x + 1 ) (x + 888)
