What two numbers multiply to 104 and add up to 105?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 104 and add up to 105?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 104

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 104 multiply to 104 and add up to 105:

1 × 104 = 104
1 + 104 = 105

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

x² + 105x + 104 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 104)

To summarize, since 1 and 104 multiply to 104 and add up 105, you know that the following is true:

x² + 105x + 104 = (x + 1 ) (x + 104)
