What two numbers multiply to 977 and add up to 978?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 977 and add up to 978?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 977

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 977 multiply to 977 and add up to 978:

1 × 977 = 977
1 + 977 = 978

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

x² + 978x + 977 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 977)

To summarize, since 1 and 977 multiply to 977 and add up 978, you know that the following is true:

x² + 978x + 977 = (x + 1 ) (x + 977)
