What two numbers multiply to 202 and add up to 203?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 202 and add up to 203?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 202

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 202 multiply to 202 and add up to 203:

1 × 202 = 202
1 + 202 = 203

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

x² + 203x + 202 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 202)

To summarize, since 1 and 202 multiply to 202 and add up 203, you know that the following is true:

x² + 203x + 202 = (x + 1 ) (x + 202)
