What two numbers multiply to 130 and add up to 131?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 130 and add up to 131?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 130

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 130 multiply to 130 and add up to 131:

1 × 130 = 130
1 + 130 = 131

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

x² + 131x + 130 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 130)

To summarize, since 1 and 130 multiply to 130 and add up 131, you know that the following is true:

x² + 131x + 130 = (x + 1 ) (x + 130)
