What two numbers multiply to 119 and add up to 120?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 119 and add up to 120?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 119

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 119 multiply to 119 and add up to 120:

1 × 119 = 119
1 + 119 = 120

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

x² + 120x + 119 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 119)

To summarize, since 1 and 119 multiply to 119 and add up 120, you know that the following is true:

x² + 120x + 119 = (x + 1 ) (x + 119)
