What two numbers multiply to 187 and add up to 188?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 187 and add up to 188?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 187

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 187 multiply to 187 and add up to 188:

1 × 187 = 187
1 + 187 = 188

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

x² + 188x + 187 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 187)

To summarize, since 1 and 187 multiply to 187 and add up 188, you know that the following is true:

x² + 188x + 187 = (x + 1 ) (x + 187)
