What two numbers multiply to 131 and add up to 132?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 131 and add up to 132?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 131

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 131 multiply to 131 and add up to 132:

1 × 131 = 131
1 + 131 = 132

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

x² + 132x + 131 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 131)

To summarize, since 1 and 131 multiply to 131 and add up 132, you know that the following is true:

x² + 132x + 131 = (x + 1 ) (x + 131)
