What two numbers multiply to 188 and add up to 189?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 188 and add up to 189?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 188

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 188 multiply to 188 and add up to 189:

1 × 188 = 188
1 + 188 = 189

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

x² + 189x + 188 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 188)

To summarize, since 1 and 188 multiply to 188 and add up 189, you know that the following is true:

x² + 189x + 188 = (x + 1 ) (x + 188)
