What two numbers multiply to 899 and add up to 900?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 899 and add up to 900?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 899

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 899 multiply to 899 and add up to 900:

1 × 899 = 899
1 + 899 = 900

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

x² + 900x + 899 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 899)

To summarize, since 1 and 899 multiply to 899 and add up 900, you know that the following is true:

x² + 900x + 899 = (x + 1 ) (x + 899)
