What two numbers multiply to 207 and add up to 208?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 207 and add up to 208?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 207

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 207 multiply to 207 and add up to 208:

1 × 207 = 207
1 + 207 = 208

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

x² + 208x + 207 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 207)

To summarize, since 1 and 207 multiply to 207 and add up 208, you know that the following is true:

x² + 208x + 207 = (x + 1 ) (x + 207)
