What two numbers multiply to 195 and add up to 196?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 195 and add up to 196?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 195

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 195 multiply to 195 and add up to 196:

1 × 195 = 195
1 + 195 = 196

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

x² + 196x + 195 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 195)

To summarize, since 1 and 195 multiply to 195 and add up 196, you know that the following is true:

x² + 196x + 195 = (x + 1 ) (x + 195)
