What two numbers multiply to 205 and add up to 206?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 205 and add up to 206?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 205

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 205 multiply to 205 and add up to 206:

1 × 205 = 205
1 + 205 = 206

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

x² + 206x + 205 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 205)

To summarize, since 1 and 205 multiply to 205 and add up 206, you know that the following is true:

x² + 206x + 205 = (x + 1 ) (x + 205)
