What two numbers multiply to 124 and add up to 125?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 124 and add up to 125?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 124

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 124 multiply to 124 and add up to 125:

1 × 124 = 124
1 + 124 = 125

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

x² + 125x + 124 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 124)

To summarize, since 1 and 124 multiply to 124 and add up 125, you know that the following is true:

x² + 125x + 124 = (x + 1 ) (x + 124)
