What two numbers multiply to 137 and add up to 138?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 137 and add up to 138?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 137

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 137 multiply to 137 and add up to 138:

1 × 137 = 137
1 + 137 = 138

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

x² + 138x + 137 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 137)

To summarize, since 1 and 137 multiply to 137 and add up 138, you know that the following is true:

x² + 138x + 137 = (x + 1 ) (x + 137)
