What two numbers multiply to 148 and add up to 149?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 148 and add up to 149?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 148

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 148 multiply to 148 and add up to 149:

1 × 148 = 148
1 + 148 = 149

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

x² + 149x + 148 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 148)

To summarize, since 1 and 148 multiply to 148 and add up 149, you know that the following is true:

x² + 149x + 148 = (x + 1 ) (x + 148)
