What two numbers multiply to 199 and add up to 200?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 199 and add up to 200?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 199

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 199 multiply to 199 and add up to 200:

1 × 199 = 199
1 + 199 = 200

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

x² + 200x + 199 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 199)

To summarize, since 1 and 199 multiply to 199 and add up 200, you know that the following is true:

x² + 200x + 199 = (x + 1 ) (x + 199)
