What two numbers multiply to 973 and add up to 974?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 973 and add up to 974?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 973

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 973 multiply to 973 and add up to 974:

1 × 973 = 973
1 + 973 = 974

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

x² + 974x + 973 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 973)

To summarize, since 1 and 973 multiply to 973 and add up 974, you know that the following is true:

x² + 974x + 973 = (x + 1 ) (x + 973)
