What two numbers multiply to 118 and add up to 119?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 118 and add up to 119?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 118

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 118 multiply to 118 and add up to 119:

1 × 118 = 118
1 + 118 = 119

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

x² + 119x + 118 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 118)

To summarize, since 1 and 118 multiply to 118 and add up 119, you know that the following is true:

x² + 119x + 118 = (x + 1 ) (x + 118)
