What two numbers multiply to 116 and add up to 117?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 116 and add up to 117?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 116

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 116 multiply to 116 and add up to 117:

1 × 116 = 116
1 + 116 = 117

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

x² + 117x + 116 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 116)

To summarize, since 1 and 116 multiply to 116 and add up 117, you know that the following is true:

x² + 117x + 116 = (x + 1 ) (x + 116)
