What two numbers multiply to 173 and add up to 174?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 173 and add up to 174?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 173

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 173 multiply to 173 and add up to 174:

1 × 173 = 173
1 + 173 = 174

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

x² + 174x + 173 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 173)

To summarize, since 1 and 173 multiply to 173 and add up 174, you know that the following is true:

x² + 174x + 173 = (x + 1 ) (x + 173)
