What two numbers multiply to 177 and add up to 178?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 177 and add up to 178?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 177

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 177 multiply to 177 and add up to 178:

1 × 177 = 177
1 + 177 = 178

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

x² + 178x + 177 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 177)

To summarize, since 1 and 177 multiply to 177 and add up 178, you know that the following is true:

x² + 178x + 177 = (x + 1 ) (x + 177)
