What two numbers multiply to 984 and add up to 985?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 984 and add up to 985?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 984

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 984 multiply to 984 and add up to 985:

1 × 984 = 984
1 + 984 = 985

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

x² + 985x + 984 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 984)

To summarize, since 1 and 984 multiply to 984 and add up 985, you know that the following is true:

x² + 985x + 984 = (x + 1 ) (x + 984)
