What two numbers multiply to 145 and add up to 146?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 145 and add up to 146?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 145

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 145 multiply to 145 and add up to 146:

1 × 145 = 145
1 + 145 = 146

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

x² + 146x + 145 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 145)

To summarize, since 1 and 145 multiply to 145 and add up 146, you know that the following is true:

x² + 146x + 145 = (x + 1 ) (x + 145)
