What two numbers multiply to 102 and add up to 103?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 102 and add up to 103?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 102

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 102 multiply to 102 and add up to 103:

1 × 102 = 102
1 + 102 = 103

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

x² + 103x + 102 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 102)

To summarize, since 1 and 102 multiply to 102 and add up 103, you know that the following is true:

x² + 103x + 102 = (x + 1 ) (x + 102)
