What two numbers multiply to 125 and add up to 126?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 125 and add up to 126?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 125

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 125 multiply to 125 and add up to 126:

1 × 125 = 125
1 + 125 = 126

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

x² + 126x + 125 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 125)

To summarize, since 1 and 125 multiply to 125 and add up 126, you know that the following is true:

x² + 126x + 125 = (x + 1 ) (x + 125)
