What two numbers multiply to 115 and add up to 116?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 115 and add up to 116?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 115

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 115 multiply to 115 and add up to 116:

1 × 115 = 115
1 + 115 = 116

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

x² + 116x + 115 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 115)

To summarize, since 1 and 115 multiply to 115 and add up 116, you know that the following is true:

x² + 116x + 115 = (x + 1 ) (x + 115)
