What two numbers multiply to 101 and add up to 102?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 101 and add up to 102?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 101

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 101 multiply to 101 and add up to 102:

1 × 101 = 101
1 + 101 = 102

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

x² + 102x + 101 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 101)

To summarize, since 1 and 101 multiply to 101 and add up 102, you know that the following is true:

x² + 102x + 101 = (x + 1 ) (x + 101)
