What two numbers multiply to 218 and add up to 219?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 218 and add up to 219?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 218

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 218 multiply to 218 and add up to 219:

1 × 218 = 218
1 + 218 = 219

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

x² + 219x + 218 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 218)

To summarize, since 1 and 218 multiply to 218 and add up 219, you know that the following is true:

x² + 219x + 218 = (x + 1 ) (x + 218)
