What two numbers multiply to 222 and add up to 223?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 222 and add up to 223?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 222

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 222 multiply to 222 and add up to 223:

1 × 222 = 222
1 + 222 = 223

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

x² + 223x + 222 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 222)

To summarize, since 1 and 222 multiply to 222 and add up 223, you know that the following is true:

x² + 223x + 222 = (x + 1 ) (x + 222)
