What two numbers multiply to 947 and add up to 948?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 947 and add up to 948?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 947

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 947 multiply to 947 and add up to 948:

1 × 947 = 947
1 + 947 = 948

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

x² + 948x + 947 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 947)

To summarize, since 1 and 947 multiply to 947 and add up 948, you know that the following is true:

x² + 948x + 947 = (x + 1 ) (x + 947)
