What two numbers multiply to 185 and add up to 186?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 185 and add up to 186?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 185

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 185 multiply to 185 and add up to 186:

1 × 185 = 185
1 + 185 = 186

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

x² + 186x + 185 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 185)

To summarize, since 1 and 185 multiply to 185 and add up 186, you know that the following is true:

x² + 186x + 185 = (x + 1 ) (x + 185)
