What two numbers multiply to 161 and add up to 162?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 161 and add up to 162?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 161

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 161 multiply to 161 and add up to 162:

1 × 161 = 161
1 + 161 = 162

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

x² + 162x + 161 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 161)

To summarize, since 1 and 161 multiply to 161 and add up 162, you know that the following is true:

x² + 162x + 161 = (x + 1 ) (x + 161)
