What two numbers multiply to 198 and add up to 199?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 198 and add up to 199?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 198

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 198 multiply to 198 and add up to 199:

1 × 198 = 198
1 + 198 = 199

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

x² + 199x + 198 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 198)

To summarize, since 1 and 198 multiply to 198 and add up 199, you know that the following is true:

x² + 199x + 198 = (x + 1 ) (x + 198)
