What two numbers multiply to 959 and add up to 960?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 959 and add up to 960?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 959

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 959 multiply to 959 and add up to 960:

1 × 959 = 959
1 + 959 = 960

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

x² + 960x + 959 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 959)

To summarize, since 1 and 959 multiply to 959 and add up 960, you know that the following is true:

x² + 960x + 959 = (x + 1 ) (x + 959)
