What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 989?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 988 and add up to 989?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 988

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 988 multiply to 988 and add up to 989:

1 × 988 = 988
1 + 988 = 989

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

x² + 989x + 988 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 988)

To summarize, since 1 and 988 multiply to 988 and add up 989, you know that the following is true:

x² + 989x + 988 = (x + 1 ) (x + 988)
