What two numbers multiply to 987 and add up to 988?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 987 and add up to 988?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 987

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 987 multiply to 987 and add up to 988:

1 × 987 = 987
1 + 987 = 988

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

x² + 988x + 987 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 987)

To summarize, since 1 and 987 multiply to 987 and add up 988, you know that the following is true:

x² + 988x + 987 = (x + 1 ) (x + 987)
