What two numbers multiply to 153 and add up to 154?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 153 and add up to 154?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 153

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 153 multiply to 153 and add up to 154:

1 × 153 = 153
1 + 153 = 154

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

x² + 154x + 153 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 153)

To summarize, since 1 and 153 multiply to 153 and add up 154, you know that the following is true:

x² + 154x + 153 = (x + 1 ) (x + 153)
