What two numbers multiply to 144 and add up to 145?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 144 and add up to 145?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 144

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 144 multiply to 144 and add up to 145:

1 × 144 = 144
1 + 144 = 145

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

x² + 145x + 144 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 144)

To summarize, since 1 and 144 multiply to 144 and add up 145, you know that the following is true:

x² + 145x + 144 = (x + 1 ) (x + 144)
