What two numbers multiply to 974 and add up to 975?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 974 and add up to 975?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 974

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 974 multiply to 974 and add up to 975:

1 × 974 = 974
1 + 974 = 975

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

x² + 975x + 974 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 974)

To summarize, since 1 and 974 multiply to 974 and add up 975, you know that the following is true:

x² + 975x + 974 = (x + 1 ) (x + 974)
