What two numbers multiply to 958 and add up to 959?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 958 and add up to 959?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 958

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 958 multiply to 958 and add up to 959:

1 × 958 = 958
1 + 958 = 959

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

x² + 959x + 958 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 958)

To summarize, since 1 and 958 multiply to 958 and add up 959, you know that the following is true:

x² + 959x + 958 = (x + 1 ) (x + 958)
