What two numbers multiply to 203 and add up to 204?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 203 and add up to 204?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 203

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 203 multiply to 203 and add up to 204:

1 × 203 = 203
1 + 203 = 204

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

x² + 204x + 203 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 203)

To summarize, since 1 and 203 multiply to 203 and add up 204, you know that the following is true:

x² + 204x + 203 = (x + 1 ) (x + 203)
