What two numbers multiply to 138 and add up to 139?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 138 and add up to 139?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 138

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 138 multiply to 138 and add up to 139:

1 × 138 = 138
1 + 138 = 139

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

x² + 139x + 138 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 138)

To summarize, since 1 and 138 multiply to 138 and add up 139, you know that the following is true:

x² + 139x + 138 = (x + 1 ) (x + 138)
