What two numbers multiply to 960 and add up to 961?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 960 and add up to 961?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 960

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 960 multiply to 960 and add up to 961:

1 × 960 = 960
1 + 960 = 961

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

x² + 961x + 960 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 960)

To summarize, since 1 and 960 multiply to 960 and add up 961, you know that the following is true:

x² + 961x + 960 = (x + 1 ) (x + 960)
