What two numbers multiply to 184 and add up to 185?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 184 and add up to 185?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 184

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 184 multiply to 184 and add up to 185:

1 × 184 = 184
1 + 184 = 185

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

x² + 185x + 184 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 184)

To summarize, since 1 and 184 multiply to 184 and add up 185, you know that the following is true:

x² + 185x + 184 = (x + 1 ) (x + 184)
