What two numbers multiply to 142 and add up to 143?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 142 and add up to 143?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 142

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 142 multiply to 142 and add up to 143:

1 × 142 = 142
1 + 142 = 143

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

x² + 143x + 142 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 142)

To summarize, since 1 and 142 multiply to 142 and add up 143, you know that the following is true:

x² + 143x + 142 = (x + 1 ) (x + 142)
