What two numbers multiply to 225 and add up to 226?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 225 and add up to 226?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 225

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 225 multiply to 225 and add up to 226:

1 × 225 = 225
1 + 225 = 226

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

x² + 226x + 225 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 225)

To summarize, since 1 and 225 multiply to 225 and add up 226, you know that the following is true:

x² + 226x + 225 = (x + 1 ) (x + 225)
