What two numbers multiply to 117 and add up to 118?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 117 and add up to 118?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 117

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 117 multiply to 117 and add up to 118:

1 × 117 = 117
1 + 117 = 118

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

x² + 118x + 117 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 117)

To summarize, since 1 and 117 multiply to 117 and add up 118, you know that the following is true:

x² + 118x + 117 = (x + 1 ) (x + 117)
