What two numbers multiply to 970 and add up to 971?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 970 and add up to 971?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 970

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 970 multiply to 970 and add up to 971:

1 × 970 = 970
1 + 970 = 971

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

x² + 971x + 970 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 970)

To summarize, since 1 and 970 multiply to 970 and add up 971, you know that the following is true:

x² + 971x + 970 = (x + 1 ) (x + 970)
