What two numbers multiply to 226 and add up to 227?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 226 and add up to 227?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 226

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 226 multiply to 226 and add up to 227:

1 × 226 = 226
1 + 226 = 227

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

x² + 227x + 226 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 226)

To summarize, since 1 and 226 multiply to 226 and add up 227, you know that the following is true:

x² + 227x + 226 = (x + 1 ) (x + 226)
