What two numbers multiply to 986 and add up to 987?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 986 and add up to 987?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 986

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 986 multiply to 986 and add up to 987:

1 × 986 = 986
1 + 986 = 987

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

x² + 987x + 986 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 986)

To summarize, since 1 and 986 multiply to 986 and add up 987, you know that the following is true:

x² + 987x + 986 = (x + 1 ) (x + 986)
