What two numbers multiply to 897 and add up to 898?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 897 and add up to 898?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 897

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 897 multiply to 897 and add up to 898:

1 × 897 = 897
1 + 897 = 898

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

x² + 898x + 897 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 897)

To summarize, since 1 and 897 multiply to 897 and add up 898, you know that the following is true:

x² + 898x + 897 = (x + 1 ) (x + 897)
