What two numbers multiply to 889 and add up to 890?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 889 and add up to 890?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 889

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 889 multiply to 889 and add up to 890:

1 × 889 = 889
1 + 889 = 890

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

x² + 890x + 889 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 889)

To summarize, since 1 and 889 multiply to 889 and add up 890, you know that the following is true:

x² + 890x + 889 = (x + 1 ) (x + 889)
