Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 898 and add up to 899?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 898

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 898 multiply to 898 and add up to 899:

1 × 898 = 898
1 + 898 = 899

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

x² + 899x + 898 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 898)

To summarize, since 1 and 898 multiply to 898 and add up 899, you know that the following is true:

x² + 899x + 898 = (x + 1 ) (x + 898)
