What two numbers multiply to 164 and add up to 165?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 164 and add up to 165?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 164

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 164 multiply to 164 and add up to 165:

1 × 164 = 164
1 + 164 = 165

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

x² + 165x + 164 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 164)

To summarize, since 1 and 164 multiply to 164 and add up 165, you know that the following is true:

x² + 165x + 164 = (x + 1 ) (x + 164)
