What two numbers multiply to 198 and add up to 101?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 198 and add up to 101?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 99

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 99 multiply to 198 and add up to 101:

2 × 99 = 198
2 + 99 = 101

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

x² + 101x + 198 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 99)

To summarize, since 2 and 99 multiply to 198 and add up 101, you know that the following is true:

x² + 101x + 198 = (x + 2 ) (x + 99)
