What two numbers multiply to 147 and add up to 148?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 147 and add up to 148?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 147

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 147 multiply to 147 and add up to 148:

1 × 147 = 147
1 + 147 = 148

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

x² + 148x + 147 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 147)

To summarize, since 1 and 147 multiply to 147 and add up 148, you know that the following is true:

x² + 148x + 147 = (x + 1 ) (x + 147)
