What two numbers multiply to 994 and add up to 995?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 994 and add up to 995?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 994

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 994 multiply to 994 and add up to 995:

1 × 994 = 994
1 + 994 = 995

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

x² + 995x + 994 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 994)

To summarize, since 1 and 994 multiply to 994 and add up 995, you know that the following is true:

x² + 995x + 994 = (x + 1 ) (x + 994)
