What two numbers multiply to 140 and add up to 141?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 140 and add up to 141?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 140

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 140 multiply to 140 and add up to 141:

1 × 140 = 140
1 + 140 = 141

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

x² + 141x + 140 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 140)

To summarize, since 1 and 140 multiply to 140 and add up 141, you know that the following is true:

x² + 141x + 140 = (x + 1 ) (x + 140)
