What two numbers multiply to 186 and add up to 187?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 186 and add up to 187?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 186

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 186 multiply to 186 and add up to 187:

1 × 186 = 186
1 + 186 = 187

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

x² + 187x + 186 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 186)

To summarize, since 1 and 186 multiply to 186 and add up 187, you know that the following is true:

x² + 187x + 186 = (x + 1 ) (x + 186)
