What two numbers multiply to 179 and add up to 180?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 179 and add up to 180?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 179

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 179 multiply to 179 and add up to 180:

1 × 179 = 179
1 + 179 = 180

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

x² + 180x + 179 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 179)

To summarize, since 1 and 179 multiply to 179 and add up 180, you know that the following is true:

x² + 180x + 179 = (x + 1 ) (x + 179)
