What two numbers multiply to 152 and add up to 153?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 152 and add up to 153?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 152

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 152 multiply to 152 and add up to 153:

1 × 152 = 152
1 + 152 = 153

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

x² + 153x + 152 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 152)

To summarize, since 1 and 152 multiply to 152 and add up 153, you know that the following is true:

x² + 153x + 152 = (x + 1 ) (x + 152)
