What two numbers multiply to 223 and add up to 224?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 223 and add up to 224?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 223

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 223 multiply to 223 and add up to 224:

1 × 223 = 223
1 + 223 = 224

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

x² + 224x + 223 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 223)

To summarize, since 1 and 223 multiply to 223 and add up 224, you know that the following is true:

x² + 224x + 223 = (x + 1 ) (x + 223)
