What two numbers multiply to 143 and add up to 144?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 143 and add up to 144?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 143

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 143 multiply to 143 and add up to 144:

1 × 143 = 143
1 + 143 = 144

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

x² + 144x + 143 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 143)

To summarize, since 1 and 143 multiply to 143 and add up 144, you know that the following is true:

x² + 144x + 143 = (x + 1 ) (x + 143)
