What two numbers multiply to 169 and add up to 170?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 169 and add up to 170?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 169

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 169 multiply to 169 and add up to 170:

1 × 169 = 169
1 + 169 = 170

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

x² + 170x + 169 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 169)

To summarize, since 1 and 169 multiply to 169 and add up 170, you know that the following is true:

x² + 170x + 169 = (x + 1 ) (x + 169)
